US to require $15,000 bond to visa recipients from 12 more countries - Reuters

The Trump administration is expanding a visa bond requirement to 12 additional countries, mandating a $15,000 security deposit from visa recipients from those nations. The policy is designed to ensure visa holders comply with U.S. immigration laws and depart the country if their visas expire. This represents a broadening of a financial security measure the administration has deployed to tighten immigration enforcement. The bond requirement creates a financial deterrent against visa overstays and illegal immigration from the targeted countries. The expansion follows the administration's earlier implementation of similar requirements and fits within its broader effort to strengthen border security and immigration controls.
