Payment for an E-visa is almost exclusively handled online via a secure portal during the final stage of your application. In 2026, most government portals (like those for India, Turkey, or Vietnam) accept major Credit and Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and often American Express). Many countries have also integrated digital wallets like PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay to streamline the process. It is vital to ensure you are on the official government website (.gov or similar), as many third-party "scam" sites look identical but charge double or triple the actual fee. After the transaction is authorized, you will typically receive a "Payment Successful" receipt via email; keep this as proof, though the system usually links the payment automatically to your passport number for processing your Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
