News Topical, Digital Desk : Some countries are required to submit bonds of up to US$15,000 to apply for a visa to the United States. The US has added 12 more countries to this list.
The US State Department's new rules will take effect for these 12 countries on April 2, according to a notice posted on the State Department's website on Wednesday.
15,000 USD for US Visa
The US State Department says it is adding 12 more countries to the list of countries whose citizens must submit bonds of up to USD 15,000 to apply for a US visa.
The list of 12 countries includes Cambodia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Grenada, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mongolia, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, and Tunisia. Passport holders from these countries will be required to submit this bond.
The U.S. Department of State will return this bond if the visa application is denied or, if the visa is granted, if the person complies with the visa conditions.
Starting April 2, 50 countries will be added to the list of countries that must submit bonds for US visas. The Trump administration implemented this requirement last year as part of a move to curb large-scale illegal immigration.
