The Trump administration is reportedly preparing plans to bring in bonds for visitors to the U.S. If the government moves ahead with them, it could see tourists entering the country being forced to pay anywhere up to $15,000 for certain tourist or business visas.
The expensive bonds aim to tackle the issue of people overstaying their visas. According to The Guardian, it will only affect countries with a high overstay rate; most of these countries are reportedly in Africa. At this stage, the Trump administration is only planning to implement the bonds as part of a 12-month pilot program to test whether or not such a policy is financially viable.
