What does the South Africa visa fee cover?
The visa fee covers: (1) the embassy/consulate application processing fee charged by the South Africa government, and (2) where the application goes through a visa application centre (VFS Global, BLS International or similar), that centre's service charge for biometric collection and document handling. It does not cover travel insurance, flight tickets, or other travel arrangements.
Is the South Africa visa fee refundable if rejected?
