 Mali requires $10,000 visa bond from US nationals


Mali will require a reciprocal visa bond on US nationals seeking business or tourist visas, its Foreign Ministry said.


The news comes in the runup to October 23, when Washington is set to start implementing a pilot visa bond programme requiring Malian nationals applying for B-1/B-2 business or tourist visas to pay bonds of $5,000 or $10,000.


“In application of reciprocity, Mali decided to establish an identical visa programme, imposing on American nationals the same conditions and requirements as those applied to Malian citizens,” the ministry said in a statement.


The ministry decried the unilateral move by the US, saying it undermines the 2005 long-term multiple-entry visa agreement between the two countries.


It cited the West African nation’s history of cooperation with the US against irregular immigration, emphasising respect for law and human dignity, and reaffirmed its commitment to fostering “fruitful” relations based on dialogue and mutual respect.


The US State Department has designated nationals from Mali, Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, and Tanzania for a pilot visa bond program taking effect October 23, with similar measures set for The Gambia on October 11, and for Malawi and Zambia on August 20, requiring eligible travellers to post bonds ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 at their visa interviews.
