Title: Re: traveling to the usa get more complicated? Post by: TheChipPrince on January 12, 2009, 08:38:22 PM Got back on saturday, nothing different then, but yes from the 12th you have to complete more forms...
Title: Re: traveling to the usa get more complicated? Post by: Sheriff Fatman on January 12, 2009, 08:53:35 PM It's basically the Visa Waiver form, but an electronic version. You need to fill it out in advance and once approved (pretty much instant in my case) it's good for 2 years.
I still had to do the Visa Waiver and Customs forms on the flight in late December but it'll ultimately replace the Waiver form (probably not the Customs one though). I got the website link via BA's booking page. Can't remember it off the top of my head. All fairly straightforward stuff though. Title: Re: traveling to the usa get more complicated?

Once approved, it's good for 2 years and multiple trips. Title: Re: traveling to the usa get more complicated?
