On October 17, 2008 President George W. Bush announced that the Czech Republic would be among seven nations to be added to the Visa Waiver program. Czech citizens will finally be able to travel to the US without a Visa by simply registering online ahead of their planned trip. The waiver should go into effect within a month (towards the end of November 2008).

 

The newly admitted members to the program (which previously was available to 27 nations) are:

 

Czech Republic

Estonia

Hungary

Latvia

Lithuania

Slovakia

South Korea

 

Nationals participating in the VWP must travel only for business, pleasure, or transit; stay in the United States for 90 days or less; and, if arriving by sea or air, hold a valid ticket for return or onward travel.

 

Other “roadmap” countries, which are on track to be the next group to qualify for VWP admission, are:

 

Bulgaria

Cyprus

Greece

Malta

Poland

Romania

 

We are excited by this news because now our relatives and friends can come and visit us without the need for any interview and/or costly fees. Please let us know what you think of this news!

[...] The fact that the Czech Republic was added to the Visa Waiver Program is probably not new to you. You may not know, however, that many other countries were added to this program just recently, including countries that did not previously require visas to enter the USA. This has caused lots of problems for people that were not familiar with the new travel policy. For example, citizens of the United Kingdom would unknowingly still travel without this permit and then face deportation in the United States. Most Czechs and the Slovaks are probably already acquainted with this new process but maybe don’t know what it takes to obtain the permit. The information below could be helpful to many of you and can serve as a checklist to make sure you receive the permit and will be admitted to the United States of America. [...]
