NCA warns about visa waiver websites
The National Consumer Agency is warning people travelling to the US to beware of a number of websites attempting to charge money for making an application under the Visa Waiver Program.
Since the beginning of the year, Irish citizens flying to the United States for temporary business or pleasure are required by law to obtain a travel authorisation at least three days before they travel.
This authorisation is obtained through a free online registration system operated by the US government.
The NCA says consumers do not need to pay for a third party to process this application on their behalf.
