»»U.S. Visa Waiver Program Expands to South Korea and Eastern Europe
Beginning today, the U.S. Visa Waiver Program will include South Korea and six Eastern European countries — Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Slovak Republic.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of specific countries to travel to the U.S. for tourism or business for up to 90 days without having to obtain a visa.
The other participating countries are: Andorra, Iceland, Norway, Australia, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Italy, San Marino, Belgium, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Spain, Finland, Monaco, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The move will help to offset the decline of the number of overseas visitors to the USA, which, given the global economic crisis, is expected to drop 3% in 2009.
