Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

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

For online entry authorisations, the SMF states that the fee is paid at the border on arrival rather than online at the time of application. Residence-permit fees are paid at the border or by bank transfer to the SMF's account at BISTP.

Separately from the fee, travellers must demonstrate sufficient means of subsistence; the SMF cites a figure of €100 per day. Specific visa and permit fee amounts are not published on the SMF pages reviewed, so applicants should confirm the current amounts with the SMF.
