Removal of Visa and Passport Waiver for Certain Permanent Residents of Canada and Bermuda

Краткое содержание

This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations by providing that residents of Canada or Bermuda having a common nationality with Canadian nationals or with British subjects in Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport and visa when applying for admission to the United States. Nationals of Ireland and British Commonwealth countries, who reside in Canada, will be affected by this change. The Service is taking this action, revoking the prior passport and visa exemption for these individuals, in conjunction with the Department of State. (See Department of State regulations published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.) This rule is intended to increase security and safeguard the United States.
