The fee charged for U.S. tourist or business visas will increase from $131 to $140 starting June 4.

U.S. Embassy informed NEWS.am that the new application fee for H, L, O, P, Q and R visas will be $150; for E visas $390, and K visas $350.

“The proposed changes to our fee schedule reflect more accurately the true expenditure of doing business. This way, services of direct benefit to individuals, organizations, or groups are paid for by the users rather than by taxpayers in general,” reads the statement by U.S. Embassy.
