Embassy of the United States Serbia

Applicants must pay the appropriate nonrefundable nonimmigrant visa application fee, based on visa classification (see tables below), in Serbian dinars (not in USD). The amount should be paid in advance and only at any Raiffeisen Bank branch in Serbia. The applicant's name and passport number are required when paying the fee. The original Raiffeisen Bank receipts have to be attached to the visa application. The receipts will be valid for one year and can be used at any time but are not transferable, and the fee cannot be refunded.

Effective September 1, 2010, Embassy Belgrade no longer accepts MRV fee receipts from banks in Montenegro.

The banks do NOT set the exchange rates. The exchange rate for dinars is set periodically by the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade for dinars. The rate is usually set once per month and is based on an average of the highest official exchange rates for the previous month. It can be difficult to forecast exchange rate changes through an entire month. The rate must be set with sufficient room for exchange rate swings during the month so that the foreign exchange equivalent paid by each visa applicant never falls under the dollar-denominated required fee for the U.S. visa application. Consequently, the exchange rate may tend to be slightly less favorable than exchange rates used elsewhere.
