Do applicants need to pay the $300 fee for the online DTV before or after visa approval?
When doing the online DTV, does the applicant have to pay the 300 dollar fee before or after the visa is approved? Because what if the applicant pays before the visa is approved, and eventually the visa gets denied, does that mean the applicant just lost 300 dollars?
Answer summary
When applying for the online DTV (Digital Visa), the $300 application fee must be paid before the visa is approved. This fee is non-refundable, meaning that if the visa is subsequently denied, applicants do not receive their payment back, regardless of the reasons for rejection, even minor issues like misspellings.

Yes, unfortunately. However they might ask for further documents etc and not decline it straight away.

This is processing fee. You pay them to consider your application, not for the result. So yea you pay even if refused. Same for every visa for every country.
