Venezolanos entrando a USA sin Visa.

Hola a todos,

Como muchos ya saben, un grupo de paises, incluyendo la Union Europea, Japon y Australia tienen un tratado con USA para que sus ciudadanos entren sin visa a Estados Unidos.

Ultimamente han habido algunas discusiones acerca de la posibilidad de agregar mas paises a esta lista, y uno se preguntaria que haria falta para que Venezuela formara marte de este grupo.

Al contrario de lo que uno podria pensar, si existe la opcion de que esto ocurra, pero Venezuela tendria que cumplir con algunos requisitos:

Governments provide reciprocal visa-free travel for U.S. citizens (90 days for tourism or business purposes);

Governments issue secure machine-readable passports that satisfy internationally accepted standards;

Governments certify that they have a program to incorporate biometric identifiers into their passports in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization standards;

Governments certify that they report the theft of blank passports on a timely basis to the U.S. Government, and do so in practice;

The refusal rate for nonimmigrant visitor visa applications for nationals of the country is less than three percent for the previous two fiscal years; and

The incidence of nationals of the country traveling as nonimmigrant visitors who are denied admission, withdraw their application and violate the terms of a VWP admission is less than two percent of the total number of nonimmigrant nationals traveling to the U.S. during the previous fiscal year.

Tal como parece, Venezuela no tiene este beneficio porque simplemente no lo quiere, o mejor dicho, porque los gobiernos Venezolanos (del pasado y el presente) no han hecho lo que se requiere.

No creen que seria posible si hubiese volutad?

Saludos,

Enrique.-
