Fn.1 These are the reciprocity fees. They are in addition to the machine readable visa fee.
Fn.2 "With certain
exceptions pertaining to personal communications, humanitarian assistance, information exchange and personal travel arrangements,
all trade with Iran was banned pursuant to an executive order of May 8, 1995. Consequently, the issuance of virtually all
E-1 visas to nationals of Iran is prohibited."
Fn.3 During July and August 2007 the Department of State moved
the Reciprocity Schedules from http://travel.state.gov/visa/reciprocity/index.htm to http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciprocity/reciprocity_3272.html.
The new site does not have a date displayed on each page as did the old site. We consequently no longer have revision dates.
Fn.4 Although there is a footnote indicated on the new web site the link is not active. We assume this section
has not changed and that the error occurred when the web site was moved to its current location.
Fn.5 Children 16
and under are exempt from reciprocity fee
69 Interpreter Releases 1604 (December 21, 1992) indicated that negotiations regarding treaties were ongoing with
Barbados, Colombia, Hong Kong, Hungary, Nigeria, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. 72 Interpreter Releases 175 (January 30, 1995)
indicated that negotiations regarding treaties were ongoing with Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, and South Africa.
New model BIT http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/38710.pdf does not contain a provision for E status. The treaties
negotiated under the new guidelines follow the model. See Investment Treaties with Uruguay/and Rwanda http://www.ustr.gov/trade-agreements/bilateral-investment-treaties/bit-documents.
