J-1 Visa application fee
The U.S. Consulates charge this fee for processing your visa application. This is payable direct to the embassy and is subject to change by the Auckland US Consulate at any time. The latest J1 Fees are listed on their site.
All applicants for a J-1 Visa must have a personal interview at the Auckland US Consulate Office. This may mean you will need to travel to Auckland before you fly out to obtain your visa. The cost of this is not covered by the US Consulate or the visa application fee. See visas for more information.
There is an additional SEVIS fee charged with this visa – of $35US but we prepay that for you.
Airfares To Camp America
You need to pay for your flights to and from camp unless you decide not to be an Own Traveller. See Travel Options. Our Travel Department (your Camp America Own Transport Providers) will search the planet for the best deals and give you the options (and the teeny tiny fine print alot of ‘great deal’ flights have attached to them) – then you can choose which deal you want.
This is at no extra cost to you. You can layby these ahead of time too with our Travel Department.
Other costs
You will also need to budget for the following – just so you know:
