There are three main payment methods for American visas:
1. Online payment
The most convenient payment method is online payment with a debit card issued by a local bank in China. The system does not accept credit cards. After the payment process is completed, you can arrange an appointment interview time.
2. Pay in cash at the counter of CITIC Bank
You can pay the application fee for non-immigrant visa (NIV) in cash at any branch of CITIC Bank. Before going to the bank, you must log on to the personal information page of the reservation website and print the corresponding US visa fee list. When paying the visa fee, please bring your passport and printed visa payment slip.
Please don't print multiple copies of the same US visa fee bill. The visa fee for each family member or group member will be regarded as an independent transaction.
3. ATM payment
You can pay the application fee for non-immigrant visa (NIV) at any ATM with the logo of CITIC Bank in China. Before paying the fee, please log in to the online system to create your personal data and print the transaction number of the ATM. When using an ATM, you need to enter the payment card information and the ATM transaction number, and select the "Fee Payment" option from the menu. When this option is selected, you should select "US Visa Fee" as the payment option, and then choose the visa type according to the prompt. After the payment is completed, the system will print a receipt containing "Visa Fee Receipt", so please keep it properly so as to arrange an appointment through the online system or the reservation center.
