Greetings, all.
Just some info on what to do when your payment for an e-Visa is rejected.
After applying for my new e-Visa, my payment was rejected and apparently it is rather common. However, there was very little information as to what to do next. Eventually, I did find a link at the bottom of the application "search" page on the Visa site for my application status. This link lets you attempt to pay again.
However, I also saw some "fine" print that said if your payment failed you must resubmit the application before attempting another payment. Apparently, this is new.
So, at the end of the day, I resubmitted my application, and then had someone from outside the country make my payment for me. So far so good. Both the application and payment were accepted and the application is in "process".
Hopefully, I'll have good news in a few days.
Cheers,
Roger
