Processing Time for Botswana eVisas

Processing time depends on how soon you need your travel pass.

Breaking Down the Botswana eVisa Cost

When you apply for a Botswana eVisa, the final cost has several parts.

• Visa Cost: This is the official charge from Botswana's immigration office. It covers document review and permission to travel. The fee is non-refundable once paid.
• Service Fee: This service fee helps reduce application errors by providing expert application review, document guidance, status updates, and support assistance.
• Optional Faster Processing Fee: Travellers in a hurry may choose between rush and super-rush processing options for faster visa approvals at an additional cost.

Formula to remember:

Total Cost = Visa Cost + Service Fee + (Optional Rush or Super Rush Fee)

How to Pay the Botswana eVisa Fee

Once your documents are uploaded during the online application process, the system sends you to the payment screen. Most travellers pay with a credit or debit card, while PayPal is also accepted. Bank transfer is also possible upon request by the applicant.

Tip: Check that your card allows international payments before you begin. Failed payments are one of the most common causes of delay.

When payment is complete, you will get a receipt by email. Keep this as proof until your trip is finished.

Important Reminders

• Each traveller, including children and infants, must have an approved eVisa.
• Once payment is made, details can only be changed if the application has not yet entered the processing stage. If correction is not possible, a new application must be submitted. 
• Carry your approved eVisa in both printed and digital forms. Airline counters often require a printed copy, while border officials may accept the document on a mobile device. Having both avoids last-minute stress.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

Here is what you need to know:

• Visa Cost: Never refunded.
• Service Fee: Not refunded once your review starts.
• Rush or Super Rush Fees: Not refunded once processing begins.

If your application is denied, you must submit a new one and pay again. This is why accuracy matters. One extra minute spent checking your passport number can save time and money later.

If you notice any possible discrepancies in your application after submission, then reach out to the Botswana eVisa Support without hesitation.
