Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Fees for Botswana immigration services are set by the government. The gov.bw pages reviewed publish a residence permit fee of P1,500.00 and a permanent residence application fee of P3,000.00.

Visa fees (tourism, visitor, transit, business, investment, employment and study) are not stated on the individual gov.bw service pages reviewed, so applicants should confirm the current amount through the eVisa portal at the payment step or with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship before travelling.

All fees are payable in Botswana Pula (BWP); online applications are paid at the time of submission.
