The US will require bonds of up to $15,000 for some tourist and business visas under a pilot program launching in two weeks, a government notice said.
Some tourists visiting the US will soon be required to sign bonds of up to $15,000 (€13,000) under a new pilot program launching in two weeks, a government notice said.
The program proposed by the State Department is aimed at curbing the number of visitors who overstay their visas.
Consular officials will have three options for visa applicants subjected to the bonds: $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000, but will generally be expected to require at least $10,000, the notice said.
The bond requirements for visitors coming to the US have been proposed at a time when the Trump administration is cracking down on undocumented migration.
