The page says you do not pay the application charge if you are coming as a representative of a foreign government or you are listed in a legislative instrument.

How to read this page
This page does not know who you are, so it cannot tell you whether a route is open to you. It states what the official page publishes. Vamola answers that question in the app, by matching your passport, your destination, why you are going and your age against these conditions, and what you enter never leaves your device.
Every figure above is what a government page said on the date shown. Vamola reads those pages automatically and links every one of them, so you can check it yourself, and it is not responsible for what they say.
Vamola publishes government information and does not give immigration advice. It matches you against the conditions each route states, and it never predicts whether an application will be granted.
Vamola covers only a few passport, destination and purpose combinations so far, and is still being built. If a combination is not covered yet, Vamola says so plainly instead of guessing.
Check your own case
Enter your passport, where you are going, why, and your age. Vamola will say which routes you match, which you do not, and why for each. It is free and there is nothing to sign in to.
