Greece Now Designated As Member of the Visa Waiver Program

March 9, 2010 - Greek nationals (Citizens of Greece) are now permitted to enter the United States without a visa under Visa Waiver Program (VWP). With this announcement, Greece joins the 35 nations already participating in the VWP established to help eliminate unnecessary barriers to travel and made permanent on October 30, 2000. Like VWP travelers from other countries, Greek citizens will be required to apply for an Electronic System Travel Authorization (ESTA) through the Web-based system. Greek citizens will be able to visit the United States without visas in approximately 30 days from application. The visa waiver program permits recipients to stay in the United States for up to 90 days. U.S. employment is not authorized.
