SEVIS Fee Payment from the Philippines in 2026
Filipino students are among the top nationalities applying for US student visas each year. If you are heading to the US in 2026, you need to pay the I-901 SEVIS fee ($350 for F-1, $220 for J-1) before your Embassy appointment. Here is how to do it from the Philippines.
Payment Options for Filipino Students
- BDO or BPI International Mastercard/Visa: Most Filipino international credit or debit cards work on fmjfee.com. Enable international payments first.
- GCash International: GCash now supports some international payments. Check if fmjfee.com is accepted at the time of payment.
- SEVISMate: Pay in PHP via your local bank or card. We handle the USD submission for you.
- Remittance via a Relative Abroad: Family members in the US, Canada, or Australia can pay on your behalf.
PHP to USD in 2026
$350 USD is approximately ₱19,500–₱20,500 PHP. Always confirm the rate before paying.
Keep Your Receipt Safe
After payment, save your I-901 confirmation PDF. The US Embassy Manila may ask for it at your interview. You can always reprint it from fmjfee.com using your SEVIS ID.
