Pakistan gets a pass on new US visa bond rule
Pakistan is excluded from a new permanent US visa bond program requiring citizens of 50 countries to post up to $20,000 as a financial guarantee for visitor visas. The program, aimed at reducing visa overstays, includes Bangladesh and Nepal but excludes India and Pakistan, with the US State Department citing improved compliance after a pilot phase.
