suziemac59 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I’m an just about to submit my visa application, looking for advise of the best method of paying the fee in order to minimise transaction fees. I’ll be applying from the UK so assume if I use my credit card there will be a fee for paying in Australian Dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABG Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 There's a relatively new player on the block called Revolut. Its a peer-2-peer forex company that provides prepaid mastercards. You upload your local currency to your account through a phone app and then pay with the card like normal. The benefits of it is zero commission and you exchange at bank-to-bank rates rather than bank-to-customer rates. For a large sum of money it makes a significant saving. I use mine for all foreign currency purchases, and took it on holiday with me a few months ago to Australia so know it works for GBP to AUD.
