NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS

Bank Payments


Applicants for non-immigrant visas must pay a non-refundable application fee of the equivalent of U.S. $ 131 in euros when they apply for their visas.  This fee must be paid at any branch of Banco Santander Central Hispano (BSCH).

Only applicants for diplomatic visas (A, G, C-3, and NATO), bearers of diplomatic passports, and exchange visitors sponsored by the Public Affairs Division of the U.S. Department of State (Fulbright Scholars) are exempt from paying this application fee.

Please request payment into the following account number:

Banco Santander Central Hispano (BSCH)
0049-1803-54-2210316035
Note. BANK TRANSFERS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED

Nationals of some countries will have to pay an additional visa fee based on reciprocal fees their governments charge Americans applying for similar visas. There is no reciprocal issuance fee for Spanish or Andorran citizens.

Applicants must present the original receipt of payment with their application. Any application submitted without a bank receipt will be returned without consideration. The receipt is valid for one year, even if there is a fee change during that period.

The fee is non-refundable even if your visa application is denied.
