FIRM Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires the State Department to charge higher fees for tourist and business visas from certain countries. The fees go up if a country refuses to take back their citizens when asked, if the U.S. considers the country a sponsor of terrorism, or if the country doesn't meet standards for fighting human trafficking. Countries that meet more of these conditions face higher fees. The State Department must check countries against these rules every month and change the fees as needed.
