JAKARTA - The Donald Trump administration plans to collect security deposits of US$ 100,000-250,000 (around Rp1.78-4.46 billion) for certain immigrant candidates who want to get an US visa.

According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon citing a US State Department source, the move is part of an experimental program.

These requirements are set to ensure that visa applicants have sufficient funds to support themselves while in the US and do not rely on assistance paid for by US taxpayers.

As reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Thursday, August 6, the program will take effect starting August and will be implemented in conjunction with the US Department of Homeland Security.

In its first phase, the requirement applies to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic before it is likely to be expanded for visa applicants from other countries.

When he was inaugurated as the 47th US President in early 2025, Donald Trump promised to stop illegal immigration and carry out mass deportations.

He also declared a national emergency to deal with the crisis at the US border.
