Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel received the U.S. statistics on visa refusals for Israelis in 2022, which were below 3%, says Eli Cohen, Foreign Minister of Israel, APA reports.
"This means that Israel can join the Visa Waiver Program and within 2 months, Israeli citizens won't need a visa to visit the US," says the Minister.
For years, Israeli officials have sought to convince US administrations to add their country to the VWP, but their efforts were hobbled by relatively high rejection rates. Last year, the US Embassy and the Foreign Ministry launched a campaign aimed at eliminating common mistakes made on applications that led to a significant portion of denials, such as the use of an incorrect photo or the failure to obtain approval for a child to travel.
