visa waiver program

The US Embassy in Romania receives between 150 and 350 visa requests every day in Romania, and the rejection rate for fiscal year 2008 was 25%, US General Consul James Gray told MEDIAFAX, adding that starting with July 1 the 3% refusal threshold will be reintroduced for the Visa Waiver program.

The Romanian ambassador to the United States of America will sign Monday a statement which will facilitate Romania’s access to the Visa Waiver Program and which will ultimately lead to the elimination of visas for Romanian citizens travelling to USA, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said Friday.
