More Tour and Travel Advice for the USA and Canada

Please visit www.usa.gov/visitors.shtml to see if the USA requires you to have a visa when traveling on a passport of your nationality.

All travelers seeking admission to the United States under the Visa Wavier Program (VWP – if no visa is required) must present a machine readable passport. A digital photograph printed on the passport photo page is required OR an integrated chip containing information from the data page (e-passport). A digital photograph is on that is printed onto the photo page, not a photo that has been glued, stapled or laminated onto the passport.

Machine readable passports issued or extended after October 26, 2006 are required to be e-passports. VWP travelers with non- compliant passports will need to obtain a new e-passport OR a visa in their passport containing the non-digital passport photo. Visa applications can be obtained by contacting the US consulate.

  3. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, however I genuinely believed you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.

  6. I am a South African going on the Wild Western tour. I know I need a visa for the US, but do I need a visa for the day in Tijauna?
