Passport & Visa
Information for U.S. Holidays
From 1 October 2003, all British passport
holders will only be permitted to enter
the United States if they hold a machine
readable passport. The majority of ‘new
style’ red British passports are machine
readable, although those issued outside
the UK or those not in the new style may
not be. There is a machine readable strip
at the bottom of the data page. This means
that the passport details can be read by
a machine at Passport Control. Should your
passport not be machine readable it will
be necessary to either obtain a new passport
or to obtain a US visa.
In addition to this requirement, family
groups will be required to obtain individual
passports for each person travelling including
all children and infants. Should you currently
have children on your passport, it will
be necessary to either obtain a new passport
or to obtain a US visa for the child in
question.
