    Seems like it’s more so covering the costs of doing automated background checks or something like that. Like making sure you aren’t on any bad lists so they can prevent you from arriving instead of having to deal with you when you’re already there.

    It’s not technically a visa, Americans are still granted that upon arrival it seems.
