New Visa Waiver Program

New Visa Waiver Countries has been anounced by President Bush.  President anounced the expansion of the Visa Waiver Program to include the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, the Republic of Korea and the Slovak Republic. However that expansion of visa waiver program won’t start immediately due to required preparations. Nationals of each country above continue to require visas to travel to the United States during that period.  So they do still need to get visa to travel to U.S.. 

DHS(The Department of Homeland Security) has announced that nationals of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Republic of Korea and the Slovak Republic will be able to travel without a visa for tourist and business travel of 90 days or less beginning on November 17 provided they possess a biometric passport and register on-line through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
