New Visa Rules for Entry to Us
Visitors to the United States, including those from the UK, will face new passport and visa requirements from October 1. The change in policy has already been introduced for other European countries and has led to those without the proper passport or visa being handcuffed, strip-searched and sent back to their home country.
The new requirement comes under the USA Patriot Act of 2001. Visitors from visa waiver countries such as the UK must now have a machine-readable passport. The US state department advised people to check if their passport was compatible. Those whose passports are not will have need a $100 US visa.
