Visas Waived for U.S. Visitors from 8 Countries
President Bush announced last week that Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and South Korea will become the newest additions to United States Visa Waiver Program.
The program is designed to offer citizens of certain countries to travel to the United States for a period of 90 days without having to obtain a visa permit. Currently, 27 countries in the world participate in the program including the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain, to name a few.
President Bush also stated that the 8 countries added last week to the United Stated Visa Program have agreed to share security threat information. Residents from these countries must also register online before their visit to the United States.
Please note that citizens from the above countries still require a United States Visa at the present time.
A complete list of participating countries can be found here.
