Received my 2Nd NOA paid the $340. I Understand She/I have an additional medical exam Fee and her Visa processing Fee. Is that all the fee's OR do they also charge me for any other Fee's. What is the Final Final Final bill ?

Visa fee is $240

Medical is $223

CFO is 400 Php ($10 roughly) counseling fee and they list a registration fee but not an amount, can't remember what we paid if anything over and above the 400 Php

Once that is all done and it's flying time there is an exit fee of 1620 Php plus the terminal fee of 550 Php
