I am currently gathering info for all of the "fees -- where and how to." Was looking for the BPI account of USEM but to no avail. Do they have one or I will just go directly to the bank in-charge and tell them that I will pay the visa fee?

Hi Riza,

No particular account number at BPI when you want to pay for your visa fee, you just go there at BPI and pay the P5,500. The teller knew it already.. Just say you will have to pay your visa application..

Yesterday I found out that there is a BPI branch just a walking distance from where I live. I thought we can pay to any BPI branches. Thank you for this link. It helps a lot!

Riza the list in the site were not complete. In some BPI banks they accept visa payments while others are not. I paid my visa fee in Subic branch and yet its not listed to them. Good luck..

Oh really. I'm just wondering though because on the last paragraph of the link it says "Application fee payments are only accepted at designated branches of the Bank of the Philippine Islands and Citibank, Philippines listed below." So, now I'm confuse if other branches not listed on the link are authorized by USEM.

Yes really.. All you have to do is go to BPI branch near you and inquire if they accept visa payment. BPI knows it already, they will decline you and tell you that they are not processing if they are not, and they will validate your payment if they branch do that.

Since, there are so many branches of BPI, i have noticed only listed in their list those that are so in major areas. You might want to check it out in your BPI near to you about this matter and they will explain that, and not only based to the BPI listed in their site.

Went this morning to pay the application fee for my visa in BPI Alabang branch. I just mentioned 'visa fee' to the teller and she asked for 5,502.00, validated their own copy of DS-157 (blank and expired). I went out with validated DS-157 and deposit/payment slip. Didn't ask for my passport or anything...

Ok Shape, TY. Will inquire next week. Mas ok yon dahil walking distance lang sa amin.

Yes, P5,502.00..

Went to BPI branch near my place this morning and inquired if they accept payment of US visa fee. They do not. I therefore conclude that only selected branches of BPI/Citibank are authorized to accept the fee. I will be paying my visa fee in one of BPI branches that's found on the list from the link given above.

hi there! yup only selected branches accept US visa payment....in case you need more info you can try calling 89100 (BPI hotline) and dial 0 once you hear the voice, then dial 0 again and wait for the call center agent to answer your call. you can ask her for the nearest BPI branch in your area where they accept US visa payments.
