The visa processing fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application or if the application is withdrawn after submission.

Apart from the visa processing fee, the authorised visa agent may charge an additional administrative fee for processing the visa application. This administrative fee is not collected by the Singapore government. The fees per visa application charged by the respective authorised visa agents (SR90 for visa processing fee and other administrative fees) are listed in Annex A.
