About VisaBond

VisaBond posts U.S. visa bonds so travelers don't have to lock up $5,000–$15,000 of their own money.

Under the U.S. Visa Bond Program, citizens of 50 countries who are approved for a B1/B2 visitor visa may be required to post a refundable bond of $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 before the visa is issued — and they get just 30 days to do it. For most families, freezing that much cash for the length of a trip is somewhere between painful and impossible.

VisaBond solves that. We act as the obligor: we fund the full bond and file it with the U.S. government via DHS Form I-352 through the Treasury's Pay.gov — typically within one business day. You pay a one-time service fee starting at $999, and your cash stays in your pocket. When you leave the U.S. on time, the bond cancels automatically.

The company

What we do — and don't

• We do post B1/B2 visa bonds as the obligor, through the government's official channels (Form I-352, Pay.gov), after your visa has been approved and a bond required.
• We do not issue visas, influence visa or admission decisions, or provide legal or immigration advice.
• We are not the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Treasury, USCIS, or any government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
