汇票付款期限有即期和远期之分。

(1)即期汇票表明在汇票的出票人按要求向银行提交单据和汇票时,银行应立即付款。即期汇票的付款期限这一栏的填写较简单,只需使用" xXX ""-""***"等符号或直接将" AT SIGHT "字样填入即可。但该栏不能空白不填。

(2)远期汇票表明银行在出票一定期限后或特定日期付款。以"远期"起算时的根据不同,分别为各种远期汇票。

例如,信用证规定见票后90天付款(Available against your drafts drawn on us at 90 days after sight ),在 at 与 sight 之间填入90 days after ,意思是从承兑日后的第90天为付款期。又如,信用证规定出票后80天付款(Available against presentation of the documents detailed heren and of your drafts at 80 days after date of the draft ),则在 at 后填入80 days after date ,将汇票上印就的 sight 划掉,意思是汇票出票日后80天付款。再如,信用证规定提单日后70天付累(Available by beneficiary ' s drafts at 70 days after on board B / L date ),则在 at 后填入70 daysana date of B / L ,删去 sight ,意为提单日后的第70天为付款期。

还有一种远期汇票,即信用证汇票条款中规定的远期汇票。例如, Available by your dafs at 80 days after sight on us ..…)。在特殊条款中又规定受益人可即期收款。例如, The negotiating bank is authorized to negotiate the insurance drafts on sight bases , as acceptance commissiot  discount charges and interest are for account by buyer,这种情况仍按远期(80 days after )填制,但可向议付行即期收款,其贴息由开征人负担。
