Trump’s US Visa Bond Hits Africa With Up to $20K Barrier To Enter America | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines how Trump’s U.S. visa bond programme is creating a new financial barrier for travellers from Africa, with citizens from 30 African countries among those affected. The policy requires some business and tourist visa applicants to deposit between $10,000 and $20,000 before entering the United States. Washington says the move will reduce visa overstays and strengthen enforcement, but critics argue it could make it harder for legitimate travel for African entrepreneurs, investors and professionals. With U.S.-Africa trade ties growing, the programme has sparked debate over whether America is protecting its borders or limiting access to a continent it calls a key economic partner. As Dubai, China, the Gulf and other global hubs compete for African business, the question is whether new U.S. restrictions could push Africa to look elsewhere. Alyson Le Grange explains what Trump’s visa bond programme means for Africa on Firstpost Africa.TIME STAMPS:
