Do I need a visa to visit Florida?
We are currently booking a holiday to florida next year, and the holiday company have informed us to contact the US embassy, which we have done, and they have told us to check out “visas to the US ‘FAQs’” which I have tried but I cannot find the information I am looking for, can some body tell me where I need to go, or who I need to contact..
In brief I want answering :-
Can I gain entry to the US on vacation for 2 weeks, if I have driven my car with no insurance, this happened about 10 years ago.. I have paid my fines.
We do not beleive that we need one, but we have been informed that since I have a driving offence, without this visa I would be turned round and deported home again.
It depends where you’re from. The only two countries I know that are so egocentric they’d forget to mention their nationality are the US and UK. Since you’re obviously not from the US based on the question I’m going to assume you’re British – in which case the answer is, you’ll be fine. You can enter the US under visa waiver for up to 90 days and they will not care about a minor driving offence 10 years ago (and I doubt it’ll show in their system anyway).
You can apply for a visa if you want to be 100% sure, tho I’d think it unnecessary. Just get the forms for a tourist visa from the US embassy website, it’s a 6 month visa. The problem with this is now you have to attend the embassy in person for an interview. It’s a formality, you’ll have no problem getting it, but if you don’t live anywhere near an embassy/consulate (there’s several around the UK) it can be a pain in the ass.
