Changes to US visa payments

THE American Chamber of Commerce in South Africa has advised of changes to the US visa payment procedure.

A key element of the new system is that, before booking an appointment the applicant must print out a personalised deposit slip or information sheet specifying the application fee amount and then take the slip to an ABSA Bank branch. Only after the payment is recorded can an appointment be booked.

The link for the new appointment service is http://usvisa-info.com/en-ZA/selfservice/ss_country_welcome

Take note: Applicants who go to the link for the old appointment service are automatically redirected to the new website.
