In this connection, he disclosed, fees for issuance of visit and residence visas, driving licence, and all prepaid transactions will be increased. “The panel is working out a formula for the anticipated charges collected for public services in such a way that is compatible with the services rendered,” he said, adding that visas issued every year are on the rise due to the low fees payable by sponsors.
