Guidance for fees and processing times

  • Start with your default country

    Keep Benin as your default country to see local document, payment and support guidance. Checking another destination should not change that default.

  • Use official routes first

    Visa rules can change with little notice. Check the destination government, embassy or official visa-centre page before booking travel.

  • Prepare evidence early
