Visa Waiver Program
(redirected from Visa Waiver Scheme)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Visa Waiver Program
Reciprocal agreements between the United States and a number of countries whereby one may travel to other countries for up to 90 days without needing to purchase a tourist visa or other documentation. The Visa Waiver Program does not allow one to take a job in the United States (or another country), but one may conduct business for one's job in one's home country. Most European countries, along with Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, are part of the Visa Waiver Program.

Smith said the Americans were making no "explicit threat" to Britain's visa-free regime, but there was "a potential link" between the US requirements and the no-visa regime: "In any visa waiver scheme there are expectations from any country for whom you waive your visa requirements.
What most people who have been the subject of such a search under terror related legislation fail to realise is that not only has their search been recorded by the police but as a result, they are no longer eligible to enter the USA under the Visa Waiver Scheme and that they will henceforth have to apply for a visa if they wish to visit that country.
Remember that if you arrive at a US port on a cargo ship you cannot use the visa waiver scheme (see below).
