U.S. Embassy in Senegal

Payment Methods & Details

All visa applicants, including children, are required to pay a non-refundable and non-transferable nonimmigrant visa (MRV) application fee prior to scheduling a visa interview appointment.

To pay the visa fee(s), first create a user account on the appointment scheduling website and add each applicant’s information.  Select “Pay by Cash”, then download, print, and follow the cash payment instruction sheet to pay the fee at any local branch of Ecobank in Senegal.  It can take up to two business days for fee payments to register, at which time you can schedule a consular visa interview.

Reasonable Accommodation

If you need reasonable accommodation for your appointment, we encourage you to request your accommodation immediately once you schedule your appointment. We make every effort to provide accommodations to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Reasonable accommodations vary, depending on the situation and the person’s needs.
Examples of accommodations include, but are not limited to:

• • If you require a private appointment due to a medical condition or disability, we may schedule an alternative time for you to come in for your interview.
  • If you or your child has special needs that requires a private appointment in a quiet space without distractions, we may schedule an alternative time for you or your family to come in for your interview.
  • If you are unable to speak, you may be allowed to respond to questions in an agreed-upon nonverbal manner such as using pen and paper.
  • If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may bring a sign language interpreter to translate during the interview if needed.
  • If you have low vision, we may provide you with communications in large print.

If you are unable to provide fingerprints because of a medical condition, including birth defects, physical deformities, skin conditions, you may qualify for a fingerprint waiver for certain fingers.

• Interview waivers are only granted in extreme situations, such as having a medical condition that requires flying in an air ambulance.

The waiting room of the Consular Section and its restroom is wheelchair-accessible.
