Maybe he was a naughty boy when younger and has a caution against him?

The UK & US don't share information, so the only way they would be able to stop him is if he willing offered the information. I know a lot of people in similar positions that don't/haven't and been fine.

I hate the ‘visa waiver programme’.

’we have a special relationship Britain, so you don’t need a visa to come see us... you just need to fill in a form, pay a fee, and a wait for a few days for it to come back, to say that you don’t need a visa.’

hmm, that sounds an awful lot like, I don’t know... applying for a visa. 

In fact, in most countries that need a visa, it’s just a stamp in your passport at the airport, you don’t need to apply in advance at all. When I went to America for the first time 20 years ago you had to fill in a form on the plane.

So, cheers for doing us that ‘favour (with a ‘u’)’ America, saving us all that bother of trying to find a pen on the plane. That’s a really progressive step forwards. 

If we don’t smash the league this season, with Sibley as top scorer, it’s all America’s fault.

First time I went to the USA in the early eighties, I had to send an application for a multi-entry visa along with my passport to their embassy in London. Which was then returned with a visa stuck inside my nice blue British passport.

When I had to go travelling about 10 years ago I had to do the same for Uganda and Kenya. Got some really pretty little certificates in my old passport. 

But every time I go to Peru I get a 90 day visa, which is literally just a stamp at the airport.

I have a US visa and it's a right paint to obtain. I had to go to the US embassy for a meeting and the place was like a sauna and running late. The ESTA is a walk in the park in comparison.

Has anyone confirmed that they are all travelling on ESTAs? I'm pretty sure that a special visa is required for athletes taking part in sporting events.

It makes you wonder how far in advance the Cocu+Asssitants deal was agreed before it was formally announced, given that they were already flying to the US when it became official

ESTA Fine for work under 90 days

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

Your travel is for 90 days or less.

You plan to travel to the United States for business or pleasure.

You want to apply for a new authorization for one person or a group of applications for two or more persons.

I love a good moan. Bravo Sir Tedd!
