The United States is introducing a new $250 'visa integrity fee' for most nonimmigrant visa applicants, including tourists, business travelers, students, and temporary workers from around the world. This fee, part of recent federal legislation, will be charged in addition to existing visa application costs and is set to take effect for fiscal year 2025. The fee cannot be waived, though some travelers may be eligible for reimbursement under specific circumstances. The move is expected to impact millions of travelers, including permanent residents of Canada and citizens of countries not part of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. Critics warn the fee could deter tourism, complicate international travel, and create additional financial barriers for visitors and immigrants.
