Expiration of COVID-Era Visa Application Fee Receipts

/

The US Department of State (DOS) announced that all receipts for payment of Machine-Readable Visa (MRV) fees issued before October 1, 2022, would expire September 30, 2023, and that there would be no extensions of the validity of the fees.

Applicants using MRV fees paid before October 1, 2022 to book an appointment at a consulate were also cautioned not to try to change their appointment dates after October 1, 2023 because doing so will result in the forfeiture of both the original appointment slot and the MRV fee receipt. This means that the applicant would be required to pay a new fee and submit a new application package.
