No, you don't have to pay another fee. Now you wait for the Biometrics Instructions letter once receipt of payment is received.
My spouse is currently waiting for his (VO: Accra).

Not to worry, as far as the you entered your information, and uploaded and submitted the receipt you've done your part. You'll receive an email confirming receipt was received (my spouse rec'd confirmation within 3 weeks).

The section you're referring to is just to provide some context re: what you're submitting, and in the event there's any changes to your personal information (mailing/residence address, email address, phone number, etc) you would use that section to provide an update.

I hope my response has helped!

Thanks, this is very much helpful. We are given 30 days to complete biometrics. Do we have enough time to complete it as biometrics instruction is taking time? Thanks

You're given thirty days to submit payment.

As for how many days given to complete biometrics, I'm not sure. If anything I'm sure it will be stated in the biometric instruction letter.
Once you receive letter book your appointment online immediately - to complete your biometrics asap.

I am very thankful again and again. Thanks for helping me in explaining the biometrics letter. Now saw carefully the letter as it
reads "Please submit the payment within 30 days from the date of this letter. ". I did read it carefully. Thanks again.

I believe you do when you are asked. they will send you a letter to pay the fee. Then wait for the next letter - biometrics instructions. I am waiting biometrics instructions letter.
