Where to pay visa fee

[Hendon07]

Hi everyone. I would just like to ask where to pay for visa fee?

Is it only at any union bank?
Or what other bank is accredited?

Thank you for all your help

Hi there

the below from the UK Border Agency website


Paying your visa application fee

You can pay your visa application fee in any of the following ways:
By cash only over the counter at the Union Bank Pasong Tamo Branch. You will need to bring a photocopy of your passport data page when you pay the fee. The bank receipt will only be valid for 10 working days from the date of payment and you must submit your visa application within this time.

The bank's address is:
Union Bank
Ground Floor
Kingswood Arcade Vito Cruz Ext. corner Pasong Tamo,
Makati City
By cash only over the counter at any other branch of the Union Bank. There is a service charge of Php 150.00 per visa application. You will need to bring a photocopy of your passport data page when you pay the fee. The bank receipt will only be valid for 10 working days from the date of payment and you must submit your visa application within this time.
By manager's cheque obtained from any bank registered in the Philippines. Cheques should be made payable to the 'British Embassy'. Only managers' cheques with the correct fee and payable to 'British Embassy' will be accepted. There is a bank charge when you purchase a manager's cheque which varies from bank to bank. You should ensure that you obtain a receipt.

The visa application fee payment cannot be paid at the visa application centre. We will not refund your fee if your application is unsuccessful.

So the easiest way is at Union bank, although you can obtain a Managers Cheque from any bank in the Philippines payable to 'British Embassy' for the correct amount.
