    The headline is misleading.

    1. It’s a refundable deposit
    2. It’s not for all travelers but only for those on non-immigrant visas. Most notably, does not apply for ESTA travelers

        You just don’t get a visa if you don’t have 250 bucks. Actually, you need a proof of funds to apply for the visa anyways

      Do they say when it will be refunded though? Will it be refunded in cash or in TrumpBux? Isn’t Trump going to add a 200 dollars tax on it, because reasons?

      Well the article clearly says there hasn’t been any implementation of this so it is unclear how you even pay let alone get a refund. It says it may be years before refunds could happen.
