I had no idea that people visiting the United States as tourists had to pay money for a visa. For some reason, I thought that was just if you wanted to work or go to school here.
Apparently not.
I was impressed and saddened at the same time when I read this story about how Bolivia is now putting American visitors into its most highly regulated category and charging $134 for a 30-day tourist visa. They say it's nothing more than reciprocity for how America treats Bolivian tourists.
Wow. No wonder the world hates us.
Post a comment to share your thoughts on the issue.
If they hate us why do they want to come to our country?
I'm sure Bolivia doesn't have the same problem of US citizens entering the country and "disappearing'. The fact is, a lot more people want to come into this country than this country can handle. In many places it is close to impossible to get even a short travel visa to the USA. I think the $$ spent is not as much of an issue as the limited number of visas available.
