US Announces Fee Hikes for International Travelers

The cost of entering the United States is increasing for many international visitors. These changes, which come into effect on September 30, are part of a broader initiative. The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ enacted during the Trump administration, is the catalyst for these fee adjustments. Specific attention is drawn to travelers from Middle Eastern countries included in the Visa Waiver Program. This program grants access for tourism and business stays up to 90 days, encompassing nations such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, most of Europe, and Qatar.
