Exemptions and special rates

The ministry lists exemptions or reduced treatment for certain nationalities and circumstances, including separate rules for nationals of Ecuador, Japan, South Korea, Peru and Spain. Check the current official cost page for the applicant's nationality Source 2,Source 3.
