AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoUS Visa Rules for Tourists & Business Travelers: The U.S. has made its refundable “visa bond” programme permanent, effective Aug 3, 2026. Consular officers may require eligible applicants for B1/B2 visas from 50 countries (including Guinea-Bissau) to post deposits of $10,000, $15,000 or up to $20,000 before a visa is issued; it’s refunded if conditions are met and forfeited for overstays. West Africa Focus: The list includes Guinea and Guinea-Bissau (among many others), meaning more travellers from the region may face higher upfront costs and extra scrutiny. Travel Safety & Disruption Abroad: At Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, flights were disrupted after authorities found a drone carrying an explosive device near the runway, with prosecutors taking over the investigation.
