LIVE: Trump's $15000 US Visa Bond Proposal Amid India Tensions | Firstpost Spotlight | N18G - Firstpost

US Visa 2025 Update: In its latest immigration move, the Trump administration proposed a 12-month pilot program requiring visa bonds of up to $15,000 for select foreign visitors. Targeting travellers from countries with high overstay rates, the program gives US consular officers the discretion to demand bonds from tourists and business visitors. Those who comply with visa terms will be refunded; overstayers forfeit the bond. Alongside the bond, a $250 "Visa Integrity Fee" is also set to kick in, making the US one of the world's priciest short-term destinations. Critics warn this could deter legitimate travellers and harm the struggling tourism industry. Affected countries include Chad, Laos, Haiti, Sudan, and Myanmar. Visitors from India, notably, report one of the lowest overstay rates.
