The U.S. Travel ‌Association said it is concerned the Trump administration's visa bond program could be broadened beyond the dozens of countries currently covered, a move it says would have a detrimental impact on the travel industry and economy.

The U.S. Department of State this month ​made permanent a visa bond program first launched as a pilot in August 2025, allowing consular ​officers to require certain tourist and business visa applicants from 50 countries to post ⁠refundable bonds of up to $20,000.
