AS OF tomorrow, Paymaster (Jamaica) Limited will begin collecting non-immigrant visa fees for the United States Embassy. Paymaster, headed by Audrey Marks, became the sole authorised agency to collect visa fees, following the contract signing at the company's Dumfries Road headquarters last month.
This means that as of tomorrow, persons wishing to apply for non-immigrant (visitor's visa), to the United States, can go to any of Paymaster's 132 locations islandwide and pay the fee of US$100.00 ($6,100). Payments must be made in cash and in Jamaican currency only.
Upon receipt of payment, applicants will be issued with two parts of a Paymaster receipt and a non-immigrant visa application form (DS-156 and DS-157). Applicants must take stamped receipt with them when attending appointments at the embassy and must attend the interview on the date scheduled.
The new arrangement gives visa applicants the advantage of a wider network of conveniently located Paymaster locations, longer opening hours, including Saturdays, to pay their visa fees.
Applicants are reminded to take the following with them when attending their interview:
Fully completed application form
One recent and professionally taken passport size photograph
Parts one and two of the visa fee receipt and
His/her passport
Now six years old, Paymaster (Jamaica) Limited is the first agency established specifically to give customers a convenient way to pay utility and other bills. The company was also recently awarded the exclusive contract to collect TAG credits for the Highway 2000 Toll.
