No visas to the US from November 11! Today, in Washington, a very important information will be announced for all Poles who love to travel. Of course, I am talking about the official announcement that Poland will officially join the US visa-free program in just a few days. Officially, from November 11, we will be able to fly to the United States without a visa - such information was provided to the media by the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda.
No visas to the US. What exactly does the introduction of visa-free travel to the USA mean for Poland?
First of all, visa-free travel to the USA means fewer formalities that we have to complete before departure. However, this is not the only advantage when it comes to traveling to the US. Thanks to the introduction of the visa waiver program for Poles who want to travel to the United States, tourist traffic will certainly increase. It is already known that searches for air connections to the USA have increased by nearly 300% since there was information that visas would not be necessary to fly to the United States. This number will surely grow all the time.
Poles without a visa to USA. What will it be like in practice?What does ESTA have in common with visa-free travel to the States?
No visas to the US. What must be emphasized when we are talking about visa-free travel to the States is not only less formalities, but also much lower costs associated with the trip itself. There is no need to make an appointment with a consul to get a visa. From November 11, all you need to do to travel to the United States is to register for the ESTA system. The form contained in this system contains very similar questions to those we filled in when we applied for a visa. The difference, however, is in the costs associated with it. Until now, the cost of obtaining permission to travel to the USA was around PLN 640. Now, this fee has been reduced to approximately $ 53 or $ 14. It includes: an ESTA registration fee of $ 4 and a $ 10 fee if we receive permission to leave. However, we can arrange all formalities without leaving home. With such low costs, it is no wonder that Poles are so intensely starting to search for suitable flights to the USA.
