If a Tourist Visa can be issued on time, and you have found a suitable replacement, you will be required to pay only the $150 management fee, and $99 to cover the handling costs of the Tourist Visa.

  • If for any reason, you are unable to find a replacement or if a replacement is found, but there is insufficient time to issue a Tourist Visa, you will be charged a 100% cancellation fee.
