Overstays from the targeted countries are down, but so is demand for tourist visas.
The Visa Bond Program requires applicants from certain countries to post a bond to ensure they return after their visit.
The drop in visas granted is due to decreased demand for tourist visas, despite a reduction in overstays.
The program specifically targets countries with high rates of visa overstays.
Overstays from the targeted countries have decreased significantly since the program's implementation.
