AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 minutes agoUS Visa Bonds for Tourists/Business: The U.S. State Department is making its visa bond programme permanent for B1/B2 applicants from 50 countries, with bonds up to $20,000 (no $5,000 minimum). The bond is refundable if travelers follow visa rules and leave on time, but it can be kept if they overstay. São Tomé and Príncipe in the List: São Tomé and Príncipe is named among affected countries, meaning some travelers may need to post a large refundable security deposit before a U.S. visa interview. UNESCO World Heritage Boost: UNESCO added 25 new World Heritage sites in 2026, including the Roças of São Tomé and Príncipe—an exciting win for heritage tourism. Global Travel Context: The same UNESCO batch also includes major draws like Mount Olympus (Greece) and the Beaches of the D-Day Landings (Normandy, France), plus first-time listings for Comoros and South Sudan.
