Visa applicants may be needed to post bond of up to $15,000 to enter US
The U.S. State Department is set to roll out a pilot program that may require foreign nationals seeking business or tourism visas to post a bond of up to 15,000 U.S. dollars to enter the United States, according to a preview of a bond notice posted on the Federal Register website on Monday, reported Xinhua.
Under the 12-month "visa bond pilot program," consular officers could require certain business and tourist visa applicants to post guarantee bonds of 5,000 U.S. dollars, 10,000 dollars or 15,000 dollars, according to the notice set to be officially published on Tuesday.
The program will take effect 15 days after the notice is officially published.
The bonds may be required for travelers from countries that the State Department identifies as having high rates of visa overstays, or deficient screening and vetting information, said the notice.
The notice did not name the countries affected, but said the list will be released online at least 15 days before it takes effect.
The proposal comes as the Trump administration continues to tighten visa requirements. Last week, the State Department announced that many visa renewal applicants would have to submit to an additional in-person interview, which was not required in the past.

2016 godine od strane nekolicine kreativnih i ambicioznih ljudi.
Platforma je na web-u dostupna za sve korisnike internet mreže od
Septembra 2020 godine. Stalno radimo na razvoju i i unapređenju
jedinstvenog univerzalnog modula koji će biti zajednički za sve online
newspaper medije. Trenutno na World Wide Web ne postoji javno dostupna
kompletna baza svih medija, uređena tako da korisnicima pruži
jednostavan izbor i brz pristup. Vezano za medije, Google, Facebook i
ostali pretraživaći nude drugačiji concep baze u odnosu na Sedma Sila.
Stalno radimo na poboljšanju funkcionalnosti i dizajniranju platforme.
Naša Misija je da medijske informacije dostupne na Webu, prikupimo,
kategorijski uredimo i prezentujemo korinicima kroz „Novi Internet
Concept“.
Nismo zadovoljni onim što smo uradili. To nas pokreće da nastavimo sa
usavršavanjem projekta.
