Trenger man Visa for å reise til USA?

[Green_Monster]

Ja eller nei ?

Om man har eldre pass så trenger man det.

Om man har eldre pass så trenger man det.

Eldre... Hva vil det si?

Hvis du har maskinlesbart pass, så trenger du ikke visum. Da fyller du bare ut kortene du får på flyet og leverer dem sammen med passet i kontrollen.

I de gamle passene er det fylt ut for hånd, mens i det maskinlesbare passet er id.siden trykket og det er en slags bokstav/tallkode nederst på bildesiden.

Jeg tror de begynte med de nye passene rundt 2004 (jeg fikk hvertfall maskinlesbart i 2004).

Dersom passet ditt ikke er maskinlesbart, det vil si at det ikke har noen striper nederst på personaliasiden, samt at det er håndskrevet, kan du ikke reise uten visum.

 

Visum koster nesten det samme som et nytt pass, so you do the math.

 

Til orientering vil du bli stoppet allerede ved innsjekk i Norge om du forsøker å reise på et håndskrevet pass til USA.
