The attention of the Embassy has been drawn to speculation of
unauthorised/extra consular fees being charged by some agents allegedly in
the name of the Mission. The Embassy takes exception to this practice and
does not endorse same.
2. In that regard, the Embassy wishes to state that it does not charge any
extra fees beyond the officially approved fees for the acquisition of
visas, passports and any other consular documents for that matter, and has
not engaged any agent to act on its behalf.
3. It should, therefore, be noted that persons who choose to pay extra fees
to any agent to facilitate their application process do so at their own
accord.
4. The Embassy further wishes to state that the processes for acquisition
of consular documents online have been streamlined and made easy for
applicants to apply by themselves.
5. Kindly be advised accordingly.
