Would you fork out RM1,200 (USD350) for a visa?
It came as a shock last week to discover that Malaysians may have to pay RM1,200 (Ringgit Malaysia) for a visa to Britain. Sunday Star lists some of the other countries that impose the visa rule.
The United States:
To travel to the US, you have to pay a non-refundable visa fee of US$131 (fixed at RM460 equivalent) and a service fee of RM32 [only in Malaysia]. Travellers are also required to find the proper visa classification for their US stay based on their purpose of travel in order to ensure smooth entry. There are 11 categories including Business, Pleasure, Internship and Media. A visa waiver programme is available for emergency or transit reasons. The programme also allows citizens of 35 countries to travel to the US for business or pleasure for stays of not more than 90 days. Unfortunately, Malaysia is not one of those countries.
