Build your own
visa budget.
No researched fee preset selected.
Fewer unknowns.
Official fees and real-life expenses,
with every assumption in view.
Where are you heading?
Changing destination or visa type starts a fresh budget.
Enter your destination authority’s fees. A starting amount of zero means no quote entered, not a free visa.
Make the numbers yours.
Published fees and your own quotes. Untick anything that does not apply.
Funding choices describe who pays in this budget. They do not authorise charging a worker. Some sponsor costs must remain employer-funded; check the source linked to the charge.

Optional personal entry in your budget currency. A balance you must show is not automatically a payment or a refusal loss. It is excluded from all costs and loss totals. Enter any account/provider fees as expenses separately.
How the estimate works
Costs paid, expected refunds and refusal stage
Each enabled amount is converted into your budget currency and rounded to cents. Potential cash loss = amounts paid by the selected refusal stage − expected cash refunds. Payments at a later stage are excluded. Every row assumes the whole amount is paid at its selected stage; split deposits and balances into separate rows if needed.
Refunds can change with the refusal stage. For example, an Irish employment-permit refusal has a different refund rule from a later visa refusal. A source-based percentage is used where established; otherwise 0% is a cautious assumption, not a verified non-refundable rule. You can override it in the row’s assumptions.
Reusable certificates, future visa applications and insurance cover are not cash refunds. No probability of refusal, compensation, lost income or loan interest is calculated.
What a partial fee preset means
We researched one named adult route for each purpose and destination. This is not every visa category or every applicable charge. Local service fees, taxes, employer levies, nationality agreements, family members, future renewals and route-specific exemptions can change the budget. Missing charges are stated in each route’s scope and notes; an initial zero in an expense row means no quote entered.
Work, study and tourism have separate charges. Tuition and health-insurance premiums are supplier expenses. Proof-of-funds balances are shown separately. The adult Schengen tourist preset is one relevant application fee; a trip through several member states does not create one visa fee per destination.
