Methodology, sources & limitations

What this is.A comparison of the typical tourist-visa fee published for each destination, drawn from VisitPlane's curated destination dataset. It is meant as a planning reference — a way to see relative cost and spot free-entry destinations.

How fees were parsed.Only unambiguous published fees are treated as numbers ("$90" → 90; "Free" → 0). Values we cannot reduce to a single fixed number — "Embassy quote", "varies", or per-day charges like "$200+/day" — appear in the table as written but are excluded from the medians and the cheapest/most-expensive figures. We never substitute a guessed number for a real one.

Important limitation. These are destination-levelfigures. The fee an individual pays depends on nationality, visa category, number of entries, processing tier and any visa-application-centre service charges. Treat every figure as "typical, verify yours" rather than a quote.

Last compiled: 2026-06-27. Visa fees change frequently and without notice.

This is a free guide to help you prepare. Visa rules change frequently and depend on your exact situation. Always confirm current requirements with the official source or the destination's embassy before booking travel.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the exact fees I will pay?

Not necessarily. These are typical, destination-level tourist-visa fees from VisitPlane’s own dataset. The fee you actually pay depends on your nationality, the visa type, the number of entries, the processing tier you choose, and any service-centre charges. Always confirm the current fee on the destination’s official immigration or e-visa portal before you pay.

How is the median fee calculated?

We parse only unambiguous published fees (for example "$90", and "Free" counts as $0). Fees we cannot reduce to a single fixed number — like "Embassy quote", "varies", or per-day charges — are shown as-is in the table but excluded from the medians and the cheapest/most-expensive figures, so the aggregates are never distorted by a guessed number.

Why are some destinations free?

Many countries grant visa-free entry or a free visa-on-arrival to tourists for short stays, so the government charges no visa fee. You may still pay unrelated costs such as a tourist tax or an electronic travel authorisation in some cases — check the official source.

How current is this data?

This index was last compiled on 2026-06-27. Visa fees change without notice, so treat it as a planning reference, not a guarantee, and verify the live fee at the official source before booking.
