The USA want to take away visas from many foreigners. This affects people with visa types B1 and B2. These are visas for tourists or business people.
These people entered the USA. After that they asked for asylum. This means they want to stay forever. The government says this is fraud.
The visas are actually for people who go home again. Media say up to 200,000 people could lose their visa. The government does not name a exact number yet.
Donald Trump is president again since January 2025. He acts strict against immigrants. His ministry says a visa is a privilege and no fixed right.
Austrians need no visa for short trips. They use the system ESTA. But who stays longer than 90 days needs a visa. You must apply for this at an embassy.
