‘I CAN DO CARIBBEAN TRAVEL’ – RESIDENTS REACT TO IMMINENT BOND FOR US VISAS

Some Antiguans and Barbudans say the trump administration’s new visa bond programme could trigger a rethink of their travel plans.

The policy requires visitors from dozens of countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, to pay a refundable bond of either US$5,000, US$10,000 or US15,000 before receiving a US B1/B2 visa.

ABS’ Samantha Simon gauged reactions on the streets of St John’s on Thursday.
