visa waiver programs

Visa waiver programs allow citizens of certain countries to travel to other countries for tourism or business purposes without obtaining a visa beforehand, usually for stays of up to 90 days. These programs streamline travel by simplifying entry procedures while maintaining security measures. Travelers must meet specific criteria, such as holding valid passports and passing security checks. The goal is to promote tourism and business exchanges, but the programs also involve ongoing security assessments to ensure safety for the host country.
