    Wala na yata talaga pera ang USA, pati mga VISA-Waiver-Country Tourists na pupunta US para magbakasyon, gusto na rin nila singilin para mag-tour sa kanilang bansa:

    Travelers who do not require visas for the United States - such as most citizens of Europe, including Germany, as well as Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan - must pay a $14 tax (11 euros) starting Wednesday.

    bayad lang naman diba.

    I'll be attending a wedding in the US early next year. Should I apply for a proper visa?
    I'm a citizen of a visa-waiver country.

    Ang intindi ko magbabayad lang. You don't need to apply for a proper visa.

    But to be sure, I think it's best to contact the US embassy.

    Here's the official word from US Dept. of State:

    http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wi...hout_1990.html

    Effective September 8, 2010, all Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) registration applications or renewals on or after that date will require a $14.00 fee payment by credit or debit card.
    ESTA is Required: Effective January 20, 2010, the Department of Homeland Security is transitioning to enforced compliance of the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) requirement for VWP travelers. Therefore, VWP travelers who have not obtained approval through ESTA should expect to be denied boarding on any air carrier bound for the United States.

    Canadians do not need to pay.

    What about Canadian, Mexican or Bermudan citizens and VWP?

    Canada, Mexico and Bermuda are not participants in the Visa Waiver Program. The Immigration and Nationality Act includes other provisions for visa-free travel for nationals of Canada and Bermuda under certain circumstances. See Citizens of Canada, Mexico and Bermuda. Since they are not part of the Visa Waiver Program, VWP requirements for machine-readable or biometric passports do not apply to nationals of Canada, Mexico or Bermuda. Also, it should be noted that some nationals of Canada and Bermuda traveling to the United States require nonimmigrant visas

    Tama! Canadians are exempted from ESTA, and thus don't need to apply or pay for one.

    Q: Do citizens of Bermuda, Canada, the Marshall Islands, or Micronesia need to apply for an ESTA?

    A:
    No. ESTA is required only for citizens or nationals of VWP countries.
