From January 2009 - New Regulations for entry to USA |
From 12 January 2009 short term visitors on the visa
waiver plan will have to register their details online
72 hours prior to travel.
The tightening of restrictions means the citizens of
27 countries who currently enjoy the visa waiver scheme
will now have to enter the same details onto a government
website as those required on a I-94 card, currently
handed in to Customs on arrival in the US.
The online registration will, however, be valid over
a two year period and there will be some provisions
for those travelling last minute.
The new initiative will be rolled out this August but
will be enforced to all countries from January 12 2009.
For answers to questions on this new procedure, please

Changes to rules on hand baggage |
Please note that for the majority of
passengers travelling from UK airports, where the rules
have been relaxed, the allowance is one bag plus handbag
or briefcase or laptop. Airlines apply their own operational
policies governing the number, size and weight of items
which may be taken into the aircraft cabin and travellers
are recommended to check these. A list of airports where
the one item restriction no longer applies can be found
at www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/airtravel/airportsecurity
