There is no fee for completing or submitting the DS-160 form itself. However, applicants are required to pay the visa application fee, also called the Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee, as part of the overall visa process. This fee amount varies depending on the visa category you are applying for. The DS-160 submission does not incur any charge, but the visa application will not proceed without payment of the MRV fee. If you need to correct errors or submit a new DS-160, there is no additional cost for submitting the new form, though you must ensure the updated confirmation number is linked to your visa interview appointment.
