§1813 Electronic Visa Update System fee

Summary

Noncitizens who must use the Electronic Visa Update System must pay a fee when they enroll. For fiscal year 2025 the fee will be at least $30, or a higher amount if the Secretary of Homeland Security sets one by rule. For fiscal year 2026 and each year after, the fee equals the previous year’s fee plus the same fee multiplied by the percent change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for July compared to July of the year before, then rounded down to the nearest $0.25. From the fees collected, $5 for each payment goes into the U.S. Treasury general fund. These fees cannot be waived or reduced.
