All applicants will be required to pay the evaluation fee and a US$100 user registration fee to access the application program online interface. Considering that a TLD application might follow different paths, such as going through an objection or string contention processes, additional fees may apply to some applicants. The details about the various fees are still in development.

Yes. Applicants may be required to pay additional fees in certain cases where specialized process steps are applicable, and should expect to account for their own business start up costs. See Section 1.5.2 of the Applicant Guidebook.
