Visa applicants from certain countries may have to pay $15,000 to obtain a tourist visa to enter the United States.
This is announced by the US State Department.
The deposit is part of President Trump’s measures to prevent illegal immigration, and is part of a pilot project that will start in August.
If the travelers follow the conditions of the visa, they will get their money back.
The program only applies to people from countries with a high number of people who stay in the United States longer than their visa allows.
