1 Government fee: US$66
Set by South Africa and paid to the authority for assessing your application. The range reflects the 2 products on offer, covering Tourist and Business travel across Single Entry — a multiple-entry or longer-validity permit costs more than a basic single entry. This fee is not refundable if the application is declined, because the assessment still took place.
2 Service fee: US$59.99 per traveller
Our flat charge for preparing, checking and submitting the file. No rush surcharge, no nationality surcharge, no per-document add-ons. If immigration declines your application, we refund our service fee. Government fees are non-refundable. Eligibility and timelines are in our refund policy.
3 What that means for a group
Both fees are per person, including children and infants. A family of four is four government fees plus four service fees — there is no family rate.
4 Costs worth avoiding
The expensive version of this process is paying twice. A mismatch between the form and the passport, an unreadable scan or a non-compliant photo means a fresh application at a fresh US$66, plus another 3 working days of waiting.
