No More U.S. Visas Needed for Baltics
Citizens of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can travel to the United States without visas as of today. The same is true of citizens of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and South Korea. All they need to do now is to fill out a special form on the Internet two days before arriving and have a biometric passport.
Citizens of the countries mentioned are allowed to stay in the U.S. for no more than 90 days per year and cannot work or study there. Those who intend to work or study must still receive visas from an American consulate.
The U.S. plans to continue to expand visa-free access. Washington is in negotiations with Poland, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta and Romania on participation in the same program. Another 27 countries, including Australia, Japan and Singapore, are already included in the program.
