Increase of the U.S. non-immigrant visa application fee 

Effective January 1, 2008, the application fee for a U.S. nonimmigrant visa will increase from $100 to $131.  This increase allows the Department to recover the costs of security and other enhancements to the non-immigrant visa application process.

Applicants who paid the prior $100 application fee before January 1 will be processed only if they are scheduled and appear for a visa interview before January 31.  Applicants who paid the prior $100 application fee and appear for visa interviews after January 31, 2008 must pay the difference -- $31 -- before they will be interviewed.

Current  visa fee payable in Slovak currency only is available in the section Applying for a Visa – Instructions and Procedures, step 5 below.
