The deposit directly goes to the tour company’s beneficiary account and this account is linked/registered with the airlines and Department of Tourism so that they can track the payments and the balance if in case the tour operators undercut the minimum daily rate.

The visa is approved only after your full payment for the trip has been made to the Department of Toursim.
