How to Pay the US Visa Fee via RCBC

Here are the steps to pay for the US visa application fee using cash:

1. Download and print the US visa application deposit slip

If you are required to make a payment of $160, click this link to generate a deposit slip. It should show the peso equivalent that you’re supposed to pay, as well as the expiration date.

(Note that fees may differ depending on the visa category you’re applying for, and that a separate visa fee deposit slip is required for each applicant.)

2. Visit an RCBC branch

When you’re ready to make your payment, proceed to the RCBC Business Center TouchQ Machine.

How to Use the RCBC Business Center TouchQ Machine

Click Bills Payment > Others > US Visa Fee
Choose Mode of Payment
Key in the reference number, amount, and your contact number.
Select Next and then confirm transaction details.
Click No to end the transaction.
Get your queue number and present the slip to the teller.
Hand in the Bank Copy of the receipt.
Pay the amount indicated on your US visa fee deposit slip.
Before leaving the bank, make sure that all the information is correct.

If the TouchQ Machine is not available in your preferred RCBC branch, you may just go to the bank teller directly.

3. Keep the receipt

When your transaction is complete, you’ll be issued a receipt. You will need this to schedule your interview at the US Embassy. Do not lose this. (Note that the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to another applicant.)
