International Travelers
At this time, the US Department of Homeland Security has a high-tech registration system in place, to fingerprint and photograph foreign visitors who are required to have visas as they enter through designated US airports and seaports. Visitors with visas will be photographed and have their index fingers electronically fingerprinted or verified upon entering or exiting the US. The program will exempt permanent US residents and foreign visitors from 27 countries who do not need visas to enter the US.
Currently, 27 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Program: Andorra, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
The web site at the National Academy of Sciences provides information on how to obtain a visa for travel to the US. You may also wish to check out the page at the US Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs for visa services.
