Application Fee
Each applicant, including children, is required to pay a non-refundable, non
transferable Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee, commonly known as
an application fee, whether the visa is issued or refused. The application fee
is in addition to any other fees pertaining to your visa category and must
be paid prior to your interview at any Alliance Bank
branch.
The fees payable at Alliance Bank per passport are: -
1. Visa Application Fee (MRV Fee): $140 in equivalent RM 480 for B1/B2 and F,M or J Visas, $150 in equivalent RM510 for H,L,O,P,Q and R visas and $390 for E Visas at consular rate of exchange.
2. Service Charge for VFS Services : RM
32(inclusive of GST @ 5%)
IMPORTANT: Your Alliance Bank fee receipt will be activated 1
working day after the date of its purchase. Please, do not attempt to
schedule an appointment until that time.
The above fees are non refundable . You must schedule an interview
within 1 year (365 days) from the date you obtained your Alliance Bank fee
receipt. If you do not schedule an interview within 1 year, you will not be
able to use that Alliance Bank fee receipt--it will no longer be valid. The
Alliance Bank fee receipt is deemed as utilized once the interview takes place,
