美国国务院称,这项为期一年的试点计划将于8月20日启动,目标群体为来自逾期滞留率较高国家的申 请人。 此举标志着特朗普政府反移民政策的进一步扩展——这类政策是特朗普竞选纲领的核心。 政府公告称,可能纳入该计划的群体包括"国务院认定的、其公民逾期滞留率高、筛查与审查信息不足 的国家的国民,或通过投资获得公民身份且无居住要求的外籍人士"。 领事官员可选择三档保证金金额——5000美元、1万美元和1.5万美元,但通常应设定为1万美元。 纳入该签证计划的国家名单将在国务院官网公布,且至少比试点计划生效时间提前15天。名单可能会调 整,调整同样会提前15天通知。 美国政府周一表示,将要求部分旅游和商务签证申请人缴纳最高1.5万美元的保证金,以打击逾期滞留 的游客。 根据美国国土安全部和移民与海关执法局的规定,旅游和商务访客在离境美国、入籍成为美国公民或死 亡时,可退还所缴保证金。 国务院表示,特朗普第一任期内的2020年曾制定过一项为期六个月的签证保证金试点计划,但因新冠疫 情期间全球旅行减少而未推行。当时的规则要求来自20多个逾期滞留率达10%及以上国家(多为非洲国 家)的旅游和商务访客缴纳1.5万美元保证金。 国务 ...
