Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Lay off Hits Hundreds of offices and bureaus of US State Department", "Don't do This When you Travel to Japan", you may read also "Ferrari Loses Trademark Lawsuit in Malaysia Against Local Energy Drink" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Additional Fee Charged for Entering US Regarding 'Integrity''.

Foreign travelers wishing to visit the United States (US) will be subject to a new additional fee of US$250 (approximately IDR 4 million), in addition to visa fees and other immigration dues. This visa integrity fee policy is part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a new law signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025.[1]

This additional fee will take effect in the 2025 US fiscal year, which runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. After that, the amount will be adjusted for inflation. The US Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to increase this fee at any time. This fee is mandatory for all nonimmigrant visa applicants—including tourists (B visas), foreign students (F visas), and temporary workers such as H-1B visa holders. However, those whose visas are denied will not be charged this fee, as payment is made only after the visa is approved.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
