Travelers Should Expect Changes to Visa Waiver Program

In his December 6, 2015, address, the President announced plans to combat the threat of terrorism in the United States. As part of these efforts, the White House plans to tighten security measures in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which is used by 20 million visitors to the U.S. each year. 
The VWP allows visitors from 38 partner countries to travel to the U.S. for up to 90 days without first applying for a visa or appearing for an interview at a U.S. consulate. The program is intended to remove barriers to travel for business and pleasure between the U.S. and those partner countries. However, the increased security measures are expected to result in travel delays.
