- CaveTech 1y agoThere are border towns where some workers do daily crossings. Without refund infrastructure in place it looks like this would add $250/day fee for all of these individuals
- WesolyKubeczek 1y agoIs it per visa or per entry? Do the workers need to get a visa a day?
- tssva 1y agoThe fee is per visa and not per entry. Non-immigrant work visas usually are valid between 12 - 36 months depending upon the type of visa.
- xnorswap 1y agoThe article says it, "Cannot be waived", so does that mean that the thousands of people who travel under the ESTA visa waiver will suddenly need to find $250 (each, so $1000 for a family of four?), and to have the headache of potentially more forms at the end to get their money back again? That seems like a lot of hassle if so, and will cause people to think twice about visiting the US.
- ftruzzi 1y agoSince the ESTA is a visa waiver program, by taking advantage of it you don't require a visa so would not have to pay this fee. At least that's my reading of it...
- ebiester 1y agoSo, if you are one of 52 wealthy and mostly white countries... got it.
- briandear 1y ago“Visa Waiver” it’s right there in your comment. Waiver means “no visa required: the requirement is waived.”
