CBP announced that it will apply inflationary adjustments to immigration fees as required by H.R.1., effective January 1, 2026. The increased fees include the fee for enrollment in the Electronic Visa Updates System (EVUS) ($30.75, up from $30), the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) fee ($40.27, up from $40), and the fee for a noncitizen paroled into the U.S. ($1,020, up from $1,000).
