Public Notice – Increase in Visa Fee
The Embassy of the Republic of Sierra Leone in Washington D.C wishes to inform the Public that with effect from April13th, 2012, Visa Processing fee for United States of America (USA) ordinary passport holders will be One Hundred and Sixty United States Dollars ($160). This change was effected as a direct result of an increase in the cost of the United States of America Nonimmigrant Visa Processing Fees as follows:
| Type of Visa | Previous Fee | New Fee | |||
| Tourist, Business, Transit, Crew Member, Student, Exchange Visitor, and Journalist visas | $140 | $160 | |||
| Petition-Based visas (H, L, O, P, Q, and R) | $150 | $190 | |||
| Treaty Investor and Trader visas (E) | $390 | $270 | |||
| Fiancé(e) visas (K) | $350 | $240 | |||
| Border Crossing Cards (age 15 and older) | $140 | $160 | |||
| Border Crossing Cards (under age 15) | $14 | $15 | |||
| Type of Visa | Previous Fee | New Fee | |||
| Immediate Relative and Family Preference Applications | $330 | $230 | |||
| Employment-Based Applications | $720 | $405 | |||
| Other Immigrant Visa Applications | $305 | $220 | |||
| Diversity Visa Program Fee | $440 | $330 | |||
| Determining Returning Resident Status | $380 | $275 | |||
It is important to note that the action of the Sierra Leone Embassy in Washington D.C was necessitated by the United States action to increase the cost of visa, because Embassies work on a reciprocal basis.
