Beginning 26 Oct 2004, officers from the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will begin enforcing requirements that travellers applying for admission under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) must be in possession of a machine-readable passport. Following procedures announced on 22 Oct, if, after 26 Oct 2004, a Visa Waiver Program national presents himself or herself for admission to the United States without a machine-readable passport or non-immigrant visa, a CBP officer is permitted to grant a one-time exemption to admit the traveller to the United States. The traveller will be issued a letter explaining the US entry requirements and his or her passport will be annotated that a one-time exemption has been granted. When granting the exemption, CBP officers will notify the traveller of the requirement for a machine-readable passport or that they can obtain a non-immigrant visa for subsequent visits. If a traveller fails to obtain a machine-readable passport or a non-immigrant visa for subsequent visits, they may be refused entry under the VWP.
