Reglamentación / Legislación : VISADOS - U.S.A - Embassy. Países exentos extensión de visado por tránsito aéreo o turismo -

Dado que las leyes migratorias estadounidenses son muy severas , cada pasajero debería de comprobar  previamente  y por cuenta propia, contactando con embajada u organismo consular norteamericano, incluido de forma telemática, del país del que sea nacionalizado,  cuál es el tipo de visado a cumplimentar y la forma (presencial o virtual)  de obtenerlo SIEMPRE ANTES de COMPRAR un VUELO a USA.

Como profesional volcado por entero al sector aéreo, he comprobado que pasajeros han adquirido vuelos sin tener noticia de que para, siquiera, hacer un tránsito en el  país, es necesario EXTENDER un VISADO de entrada como turista, tránsito aéreo, laboral, siempre por un espacio de tiempo MÁXIMO  NOVENTA DIAS.

Ante un caso así, el drama está servido, más aún cuando un ciudadano del mundo no pertenece al listado de países EXENTOS de visado, que aparecen en el link al cual, todos podéis acceder y consultar, de la Embajada USA en Madrid y que cada cual amplíe la información en la medida de sus intereses, imperativamente.

Es necesario que el pasajero que no sea comunitario europeo, consulte con la embajada o consulado de su país de origen.

Lo mismo para pasajeros comunitarios que residan en España: deberán dirigirse a la embajada de su país o a la embajada del país en España.

Esperar siempre al visto bueno de la embajada ante la entrada al país y luego adquirir el servicio aéreo o marítimo.

En cualquier caso,el pasajero incluido en la EXENCIÓN DE VISADO obliga a rellenar un cuestionario sobre el motivo del viaje.

La relación de países exentos de visado, es la siguiente:

Jamaica was discovered to the world in 1494 by Christopher Columbus.

Currently, Jamaica is an independent state from Britain since August 6 1962 after 200 years of British conquest.

The island is composed primarily of mountainous terrain surrounded by a small strip of coast.

Cities are usually set in the coastal plain.

Climate in Jamaica is tropical, usually hot and humid, but in mountain areas may be somewhat cooler.

In spite of its location in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, suffers no hurricanes so frequently as neighboring islands.

This is due mainly to mountains, which divert cyclones.
