Here in Mexico the cost of an American Visa is $45 (kids under 15yo $13), good for 10 years.

Here we have to get the visa making an appointment with the US Embassy at least 2 months before the trip. In vacation time, the appointment can be a month after you ask for it, and after that they can take another month mailing it to you.

Is it the same in other countries?

Is this the same as a passport??? I've never had to worry about getting a visa to go to the US before, I was told to get a passport though. It took 4 weeks to get it by mail, but we had to provide a lot of information to get it.

Fortunately, we don't need a visa for the US; only a passport.

The passport is a document extended by your own government, the US visa is extended by the US Government as a visit permission.
When I visited Europe in 1993, the only country that required a visa was France, but now it doesn't require it. Maybe then it was not needed for "communitary countries visitors".
I think the american visa is not required for canadian visitors, and maybe it is not required for other countries, but sure it is at least for Latinamerica countries.

There is a US Gov. program "Visa Waiver Program", which includes most of the West European countries, Japan, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia, Singapour, and New Zealand. Visitors of these countries don't need a visa if they are tourists and stay less than 90 days in the US. If you are from other country, or plan to work, study or stay more than 90 days, you will need a visa.
Canada is not on the list, I suppose they don't need a visa.

When you travel to US from UK you fill in a visa waiver form on the plane!

Totally off-topic, but I think that "Tartan Tigger" is absolutely adorable!

Of course, I'm partial to all things Scottish (used to live in Edinburgh). :)
