The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will designate Malta as a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country on Dec. 30, 2008. Maltese nationals will be able to travel visa-free to the United States effective Dec. 30th.

"I commend Malta’s commitment to meeting all of the security requirements for joining the Visa Waiver Program this year," said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Policy Stewart Baker.

CRIME: Malta has a low rate of violent crime. Theft of unattended personal property and car stereos from vehicles is a common problem. Visitors are strongly encouraged to secure their valuables, and be aware of pickpockets and purse snatchers. Such criminals focus on areas and establishments frequented by tourists. Caution is particularly urged in the Paceville nightclub area, where excessive drinking and poor crowd control have led to instances of violent behavior. Poverty, homelessness, and panhandling are almost non-existent in Malta. All visitors to Malta should practice the same good, common sense personal security precautions that are part of everyday life in urban areas within the U.S., particularly when spending time in areas frequented by tourists.

There goes the neighborhood.

I'm of the opinion that every Countries citizens should have to have a visa.

Why?

Because I'm a d!ckhead. :D

If we required Canadians to have one they would do the same. That would mean the Company I work for would stop making us go there.

Why do you think that?

Does business not occur, do businessmen not travel, to countries that require they get visas?

Too much of a hassle for us. We have a Sister company in Canada that could handle the tours there.
