On the day of your interview, please pay the appropriate nonrefundable visa application fee(s), based on your visa type. Depending on your nationality and the visa category for which you are applying, reciprocity fees may apply. Please check the reciprocity fee schedule to determine if there is an additional fee related to the issuance of your visa.
All visa fees must be paid in U.S. dollars or Kyrgyz som based on the exchange rate established by the U.S. Embassy at the cash desk of the Consular section on the day of interview. Please note that this fee is non-refundable. Applicants should not pay this fee unless they are 100% confident that they want to apply for the U.S. visa.
NOTE: Payment for your interview is due at the time of service. We request the exact payment amount for the interview, either in KGS or USD (crisp and unmarked), but not both. We do not accept credit cards for payment. Applicants whose visas are approved may be required to pay an additional reciprocity fee. Please check the Reciprocity Fee Schedule and plan accordingly for your visit.
