that it has to be accounted for and is not going directly into immigration staff's pockets, otherwise there would not be the need for them to charge for a 30 day visa and issue a 7 day visa and pocket the difference.
The VOA is an official fee. As far as I can tell the VIP service is not.
People are always complaining about corruption here until it works in their favour.
