The United States is set to increase visa fees for tourists, students, and temporary workers as part of a new immigration law introduced by President Donald Trump. Starting October 1, 2025, applicants will face a new "visa integrity fee" of $250, which acts as a safety deposit to ensure visa holders exit the country as required. This fee will raise the total cost of a B1/B2 tourist visa to approximately $435, equivalent to around 8,000 Mexican pesos or an additional 4,600 pesos for Mexican applicants. The new charges are expected to affect travelers from multiple countries, including Mexico, Colombia, and Canada. The fee increase is part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a fiscal measure aimed at boosting government revenue. While the visa cost hike is expected to have implications for the U.S. travel industry, it also includes conditions under which the additional fees may be refundable if applicants comply with visa requirements. Experts are analyzing the potential motivations behind the Trump administration's decision to implement these higher visa costs.
