UK Travelers Face $250 US Tourist Fee

British travelers planning US trips face a new $250 visa integrity fee starting in 2026, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This mandatory charge applies to most nonimmigrant visas, including B1/B2 tourist and business categories, alongside hikes in ESTA costs from $21 to $40. The fee aims to enhance border security and compliance, affecting short stays without exemptions for most visitors.
