Hello again everyone!

From what i see, there are very few options for paying the VISA application fee. BPI or online with BPI or Bancnet? It seems that there are few Branches or machines in Western Samar. It looks like my fiancee will have to travel 4 hours one way to make this payment. This seems rediculous to me. :ranting: Has anyone heard of another way to pay?

Thanks for any input you can provide.

It can be difficult, as unfortunately BPI or Bancnet is the only ways to pay; and it has to be done in person as she needs to bring the receipt and bank slip copies with her to the interview.

For the benefit of anyone in a similar situation, I'll post here the good news iI found.

Bancnet was one option to pay online. When I looked further, there are many other banks that are members of bancnet and one of those is my fiancee's bank. Here's a link to some instructions.
