$15,000 bond for US B1/B2 visas: Bangladeshis warned by US embassy ahead of January 21

Bangladeshi nationals approved for a B1/B2 (business and tourist) United States visa will be required to post a bond of up to $15,000 from January 21, 2026, the US Embassy in Dhaka announced on it’s social media page. This new rule will apply only to visas issued on or after that date. Nationals holding a valid B1/B2 visa issued before January 21 will not have to pay the bond.

In its advisory, the embassy warned applicants, “Do NOT pay your bond in advance. Paying early does not guarantee you a visa, and third-party sites can be scams.” And the agency also warned that any payment made before the visa interview “is NOT refundable.” The bond will be returned if the visa holder respects all the terms of their stay in US.
