Visa Application Fees How to pay You will need to pay the visa application fee at the time you make your visa application at the visa application centre. You can pay in cash (LKRs) or by a demand draft from any bank in favour of "The British High Commission Colombo". Bank charges for this service will vary. Dependants are charged the same fee as the main applicant. All dependants who are travelling must pay the fee whether or not they are included in the main applicant's passport. Visa fees are non-refundable but if a payment has been made and the application is not submitted or if the applicant refuses to provide biometrics details with their application, then we will refund the fee. The consular rate of exchange is 1 GBP = 200 LKR. Please note the visa fees are subject to change.
