took me an hour to pay my visa fee in bpi libis. the lady was uncertain of the amount. i was paying php47,500 for my settlement visa and she kept asking me "are you sure this is the right amount?" (no im not, i just thought id come in here and waste money!). she found a printed paper with the table fee on it and still uncertain as she said it might have changed due to the forex. i pateintly sat there not wanting to have an arguement with her. then she said to me how sure am i this was the right amount? i told her visit the website of uk vacs and the british embassy if not call her manager or someone who would know the "going fee". she said they are not used to dealing with uk visa application fees, any chance i would like to apply for the u.s. instead? now that was that! i demanded to see the manager who seemed to be a bot confused, made a few calls and i was out the bank in 10.
