Why is there still a charge in the early stage of visa?

Take America as an example:

abstract

Before applying for a non-immigrant visa, visa applicants, including children, need to pay a non-refundable and non-transferable visa application fee, sometimes called a machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee. Whether you get a visa or not, you must pay the visa application fee. The specific cost depends on the type of visa you apply for. Depending on your nationality and the type of visa you apply for, you may also have to pay a visa issuance fee or a "reciprocal" fee. This page lists the application fees for various non-immigrant visas.

Please note that the application fee listed here is only for non-immigrant visas.

Payment information

Although the fees listed here are in US dollars, they must be paid in local currency. You can pay online at more than 200 outlets of China CITIC Bank, or through the ATM of China CITIC Bank, or by using a debit card issued by a Chinese bank.

Limit condition

The visa application fee you pay is non-refundable and non-transferable. You will receive a receipt after paying the fee. This receipt takes effect from the date of payment and is valid for one year. You can use this receipt to make an appointment for an interview at the American Embassy or Consulate General. You must make an appointment for an interview before the receipt expires, that is, within one year after payment. If you don't make an appointment during this period, your receipt will expire, and you must pay the application fee again and start the process again.
