Visa Waiver Program

2/19/2016

The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015, which was signed into law as part of the 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act (PL 114-113). Under the Act, Libya, Somalia and Yemen are added as countries of concern, and Visa Waiver Program travel is limited for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries since March 1, 2011. For now, the travel restriction does not apply to dual nationals of these three countries.
