How to calculate the total cost of a visa application?

The total cost of a visa application can be calculated by summing up various components involved in the application process. The formula to determine the total cost is:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = A + F + I + D §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost of the visa application
  • § A § — application fee
  • § F § — additional fees (e.g., processing fees, service charges)
  • § I § — medical insurance cost
  • § D § — document translation cost

This formula allows you to account for all necessary expenses when applying for a visa.

Example:

  • Application Fee (§ A §): $100
  • Additional Fees (§ F §): $20
  • Medical Insurance Cost (§ I §): $50
  • Document Translation Cost (§ D §): $30

Total Cost:

§§ T = 100 + 20 + 50 + 30 = 200 §$
