You don't need a visa for a holiday though do you? There's that visa waiver programme for UK citizens. I guess to go and play football you need to be able to 'work' in the country.

 

Dunno like.

 

Thats it, basically.

I would have thought it was an issue with people with criminal records working and generating money in America.

 

Basically, you can go and spend your cash there, but if you've got a criminal record, you're not allowed to earn money from their economy.

Sounds like an alright system to me.

It's not really that indepth. I think it's far more likely that when traveling on holiday under the visa waiver program, he simply didn't declare that he had a record.

 

It's not like its much different in the UK. We didn't let Snoop Dog in man.

pfft, he should just enter the country illegally.  We roll out the red carpet for illegal aliens.

 

Like you, or are you a legal (white?) one?

Are you a UK citizen? I went to New York last summer and didn't need a visa.

I didnt need one. My friend who has a record does-

 

Not if you have a criminal record.

 

My point being, JB would of needed a visa for his holiday, which suggests that he needed a more strict visa to play football. Ridiculous

If they wanted to appeal and go through all that I'm sure they could, and I'm sure he'd be fine... maybe... but I guess it's just not worth it. It's not like we're playing anyone of any quality, it'll be more of a match-fitness tour where we change up the starting XI a load imo. He'll be back for the BIG games in England.

Yes you do. It is called a Visa Waiver.

 

You apply online for an ESTA which used to be free but now costs $14. You used to fill a green form in on the plane but now do it electronically in advance.

 

If you have been convicted of certain crimes or served a prison sentence then you have to apply to embassy for  "proper" visa and aren't elegible for the 3 month validity visa waiver/ESTA.

You still have to fill in the green form on the plane, despite the fact it asks the exact same fucking questions as the ESTA. C'est ridicule

Fenham Mag:

 

That article will be gone in the morning :lol:

 

Aye :lol:

 

 

Well I was wrong.

 

But having looked into this whole visa issue, apparently the ESTA lasts for two years? If that's so, shouldn't be a problem with Barton getting a visa - business/pleasure reasons.

 

(I could be talking a load of bollocks though, was looking through the regulations at 3am this morning).

Depends on the airline and port of entry. Some are geared up for Electronic only and some aren't quite there yet.

Yeah, I didn't understand that, I thought it was just Delta covering their own backs 'we offered to everyone!'.
