US Considers Changes to Visa Waiver Program

Filed in archive Americas by Matthew Schulz on July 15, 2007

The United States is considering changes to its Visa Waiver Program that would include a requirement of 48 hours advance notice before traveling to the US.

Under current US law, touristslinks and short-term business travelers from participating countries can come to the US for up to 90 days without first applying for a visa at an American consular post. The proposal under consideration would require new, advance security checks - similar to the system in place in Australia.

In addition, the Congress is considering expanding the list of participating countries.
