Reed Hastings Backs Trump's $100K H-1B Fee to Limit Visas to Top Jobs

Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings supports Donald Trump's new $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas, believing it will streamline the process and ensure visas are used only for high-value jobs. The policy, effective March 2026, caused initial confusion and chaos among tech companies and visa holders, with conflicting statements from government officials regarding its application to renewals. While large tech firms may absorb the cost, smaller companies and startups fear negative impacts. The fee applies only to new H-1B petitions, not renewals.
