Im guessing that insted of the 350 being paid at the time of interview it will only be 240. Ill keep an eye on the DR consulate to see when they change their numbers. :whistle: :dance: :dance:

I think or am under the impression that the Banco Popular Fee is the same as the interview fee.

Ok so they are not both Banco Popular Fees I just checked:

As soon as you have obtained the documents that are applicable in your case, take this sheet to any Banco Popular branch in the Dominican Republic to pay the non-fundable visa application fee of the equivalent of US$140.00 in Dominican pesos and an additional non-refundable fee of US$15.00 (the equivalent in Dominican pesos) plus applicable taxes per applicant. This fee is for the official verification of your records. All applicants must pay the equivalent of US$140.00 fee, but only applicants who will be age 18 or older on the day of their interview need to pay the equivalent US$15.00 fee. Make sure to take the Banco Popular receipt to the Consular Section on the day of your interview.

Starting June 4, 2010, all K visa applications need to pay US$210.00 the day of the interview in the Consular Section.

They still dont have the new update info. I would also like to know so I guess we have to keep our eyes open.

So guys, who can tell me...if i have just recived the package 3 a few days ago, and had started filling out the forms...is it better for me to wait until the April 12th,then to send forms to the consulat, so i would pay less...or it doesn't matter, if i send them now and pay after April 12th, will it also be 350$ or 240$?

Jersey, I have been looking all over to see where else I can find this new info. I guess it will take a few days to show up everywhere. This would be so great if it is for the interview and Banco Popular fees. Thanks for the great news... :thumbs:

Best is to contact your consulate about it. Each country has a different way of paying fees (I had to pay the fee in euros, so with the new fee starting April 13th, I would have not know how much I would have needed to pay).

If the change takes effect on 13 April 2012, to qualify for the new fee schedule, it sounds like the consulate has to receive your application(s) after 13 April 2012. At least that is how I would interpret the info notice posted by didopage. It still may be a good idea to inquire with your specific consulate for details.

Whew who..... we may get a bit of a break in the cost of the visa !!!!

Good luck on your visa journey.
