When applying, there is a non-refundable mandatory visa fee which every applicant must pay to the Consulate when submitting the application.
Visa fees vary depending on the type of visa and age of the applicant, as well as other variables indicated below.
Visa fees can be paid in cash, by money order/bank draft payable to the Consulate General of Italy in Toronto (Canadian dollars only).
Visa fees include a visa fee and a service fee. Should the visa be denied, the amount paid at the time of applying will not be refunded.
Due to fluctuations of the exchange rate, fees are subject to change every three months. We recommend to avoid sending postal applications with money orders or bank drafts (or cash) in the 10 working days prior to a change of trimester (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31), as fees may change and we may not be able to process your application in due time.
