Apologies if this has been covered before but I still cant get to grips with finding stuff in the archives.
What is the proceedure to enter the US from the sea.Is it possible to use the visa waiver sheme as you do when you arrive by plane or is a full visa needed.
If a visa is need do you have to obtain one before you leave the UK or can it be done when you arrive?
We will be wintering in Bermuda and Bahamas and then may decide to sail across to Florida unless of course the immigration proceedures just make it impossible to arrive by sea in which case we will stick to the Carribean and save ourselves the trouble.
I have left the US by sea after entering on the visa waiver which was surprisingly easy.I phoned the immigraton number to find out where their office was so I could come along to clear out and I was told not to bother, just write left by private ship on the back of the green form and put it in the post.I somehow doubt getting in will be so easy.
Or am I wrong?
Anyone know.
Thanks in advance
Andrew
