The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department announced the designation of Romania as a participating country in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
Key Points:
Additional Information: The VWP is a culmination of comprehensive security partnerships between the United States and designated countries that meet strict requirements related to counterterrorism, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, document security and border management.
A recent DHS rule change updates the agency’s practice for notifying the public of countries designated for participation in the VWP. The definition of “designated country” was amended to refer to countries that the Secretary of Homeland Security has designated for VWP participation and remove references to specific countries in the regulations. Notification will be made available on the DHS U.S. Visa Waiver Program website.
