US
VISAS
If
you are an investor seeking to run a business in the United States,
you will need to obtain the appropriate visa to do so. We will
briefly explain these to you and we can arrange a meeting with
our Immigration Attorney at your convenience to discuss all options
in more detail.
Visa
requirements from 2003
All
passengers to the USA need a machine readable passport (Red UK
issue) Full 10 year or 5 year for children, and children CANNOT
be named on the parents passport they must have their own or apply
for Visa's which is a very lengthy process.
All passports issued by the UK Passport Service are machine readable
and can be read by any country that has the equipment to do so.
As long as they have not been badly treated.
Please
be advised that there will be a change in the documentation requirements
for passengers entering and transiting in the United States effective
01 October 2003. From this date all passengers travelling to and
from the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) are required
to hold a machine readable passport (MRP).
Any
person who is a citizen of a VWP eligible country eg: UK and who's
passport is not machine readable will need to obtain a U.S. non-immigrant
visa prior to arrival. This applies to all persons including infants
and children. Children who have been added to a parent's passport
will also be required to have a MRP issued in their own name or
have a U.S. visa issued to them affixed into the passport in which
their name appears.
Please
ensure any passengers are aware of these new documentation requirements
for entry into the U.S. This law was fully implemented on 01 October
2003. Passengers will be refused entry if documentation is not
correct.
Visa
Information
Visitors to
Florida from Britain, Holland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Sweden and Switzerland traveling on valid national or EC passports
do not need a visa for holiday or business travel of 90 days or
less. However, all visitors must hold round-trip or return tickets
especially if they enter the US on an airline or cruise line that
participates in the no-visa travel program. For longer stays,
all international visitors should obtain a B-2 (non-immigrant,
pleasure tourist) visa, which is valid for six months.
Citizens of
visa exempt countries may visit Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, as well
as the Caribbean islands and then re-enter the US by any mode
of transportation without needing a visa.
Citizens of
countries other than those listed above will require a US visa,
which can be applied for through the nearest US embassy or consulate.
In the case
of loss of documents, report the loss promptly to your national
embassy or consulate in the US, and local police. It is advisable
to make photocopies of your passport and other documents, leaving
one copy with someone at home, and carrying the other. Replacement
of original documents is generally quicker if you can supply photocopy
data of the originals.
