The US State Department announced on Monday (4/8) that it will impose up to 15,000 dollars-the equivalent of tourism and business visas of $ 82,000. The list of countries covered in the program will be published on Tuesday (5). According to the American government, the goal is to avoid “illegal working hours” from countries “where examination and verification information is handicapped,” according to the statement.
For the purpose of combating the “invasion” in the American region, the experimental program will be launched on August 20, and will be carried out for a period of 12 months as a test, which will reach the applicants in B-1 visas (for temporary commercial activities such as meetings and conferences) and B-2 (which covers tourism, entertainment and medical treatment).
This measure will be developed in partnership with the Ministry of Internal Security. The list of countries can be updated during the project with 15 days between advertising and issuance. The consular authorities will be able to impose three values: $ 5,000 ($ 27,600), or $ 10,000 (55.2 thousand dollars) or 15 thousand US dollars (82 thousand dollars). The Foreign Ministry said the most common rate should be $ 10,000.
On the same day that the target countries of the procedure will be announced, the North American government will publish an explanation of the warning requirements. The advertisement was released on the federal registry site.
