The proposal is to be presented by President Donald Trump, and means that a so-called H1-B visa, which concerns workers and technicians within high-tech, will cost 100,000 dollars – equivalent to about 940,000 kronor, states a government source for Bloomberg News.

Many employees in the tech industry in the USA come from India, according to the American government source.
