Carlson Wagonlit Travel

Carlson Wagonlit Travel wishes to remind you of the following conditions concerning travel to the USA.

Passport conditions

Since 26 October 2004, nationals of the countries covered by the US Visa Waiver Programme have been required to present a valid machine-readable passport when entering the United States. Failing this, they require a valid US non-immigrant visa in addition to their passport.

Passports issued after 25 October 2005 must also bear a digital photograph.

Passports issued after 25 October 2006 must contain biometric data to allow visa-free entry to the US.

Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) form

Since 4 October 2005, all non-US citizens travelling to the USA have been required to complete the APIS form before departure and present it when they check in. This new procedure will certainly increase the time it takes to check in. We therefore advise passengers to present themselves at the respective check-in desk in good time.

The APIS form can be downloaded from our homepage:
