The US Embassy in Dhaka has provided a detailed explanation of how the new 'Visa Bond Pilot Program' will operate. The clarification was shared on the embassy’s verified Facebook page on Monday, outlining the steps of the initiative. Under this program, certain foreign nationals may be required to deposit a financial bond before receiving a temporary visa to ensure compliance with visa conditions, particularly the duration of stay.
According to the information, the program includes conditions such as not working in the United States and returning home within the permitted period. On January 7, the US Department of State announced the suspension of immigrant visas for citizens of 75 countries, including Bangladesh, and added Bangladesh to the list of countries under the visa bond pilot program. As a result, Bangladeshi travelers may need to deposit between 5,000 and 15,000 US dollars as a bond.
The US side stated that the main objective of the pilot program is to discourage visa overstays, targeting countries with higher rates of travelers who fail to return after their authorized stay.
