Visa Waiver Scheme
November 12, 2008 by Paula
Many people do not realise that travelling to the States does not require a visa; it is operated by what is known as the Visa Waiver Scheme. As long as you have a new and machine readable passport you will be fine.
However, if you have been arrested for any crime, even if you where not found guilty, it could effect your chances of getting onto the US. If you have any doubt contact the Consular Information unit, United States Embassy, 24 Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE or U.S. Embassy Dublin 42 Elgin Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Further information can be obtained by visiting www.usembassy.org.uk.
