Can I pay the visa fee by credit card or debit card?

There are three main payment methods for American visas:

1. online payment

The most convenient payment method is online payment with debit cards issued by local banks in China. The system does not accept credit cards. After the payment process is completed, you can arrange an appointment interview time.

2. Make cash payment at the counter of CITIC Bank.

You can pay the non-immigrant visa (NIV) application fee in cash at any branch of China CITIC Bank. Before going to the bank, be sure to 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 do not 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 the ATM, you need to enter the payment card information and the ATM transaction number, and select the "Fee Payment" option from the menu. When selecting this option, 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 the "visa fee receipt". Please keep it properly so that you can arrange an appointment through the online system or the reservation center.
