The American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (Amcham T&T) is expressing serious concern over a new visa bond policy being implemented by the United States, which could require certain applicants to post bonds of up to US$15,000 in order to enter the country.
Yesterday, the US Department of State announced that Zambia and Malawi, both located in southern Africa, will be the first countries subjected to the new measure.
The initiative targets applicants from selected nations seeking B1/B2 visitor visas, requiring them to pay a refundable bond of US$5,000, US$10,000, or US$15,000 at the time of their visa interview.
