US visa-free status coming soon! / Bezvizovy styk s USA se blizi!

According to the latest prognosis, Czechs should be able to travel to the US visa-free starting November 17th (which is also the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution), which is less than 2 months away! The Czech prime minister is planning on visiting Washington in late October to not only discuss the U.S. missile defense radar base but also to sign the 2 remaining agreements necessary for the visa-free travel status. The first agreement deals with the cooperation with the US center in terrorism threats and the second one concerns the exchange of information about the people who were convicted of serious crimes in the past. Once the US waves the visa requirement, Czechs will just simply go on line, fill out a simple form, press the “send” button, go get a coffee, come back and their approval letter will be in their mail box….
