Cypriot citizens are one step closer to the dream of hassle-free travel to the United States, as final approvals near for Cyprus’ inclusion into the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
The Cypriot authorities have already done all the necessary groundwork to secure the final green light from the US. A team of experts from the US Department of State and Congress is expected to visit the Mediterranean island before Easter to give their final approval. The approval process is expected to proceed smoothly, as all the required steps have been taken and all the documentation is in place.
Cypriot officials from several ministries, including Foreign Affairs and Justice, have been hard at work making sure that everything is in order.
They have completed the necessary legislative work and crucial agreements with the US have already been signed and ratified by Cyprus’ Parliament. These agreements focus on enhancing security and ensuring better cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.
Cooperation in these crucial fields is one of the key requirements for joining the United State’s Visa Waiver Program.
