Good news may be in store for Taiwanese citizens traveling to the US. In the near future, they might be able to stay within the US for business or pleasure for up to 90 days without having to obtain an American visa first. Thus, Taiwanese travelers would no longer have to pay the US$143 fee for the travel visa. In December of 2011, Taiwan was nominated for inclusion into the US Visa Waiver Program, and hopefully, Taiwan and its anxious travelers will be given the green light soon.
赴美旅遊的台灣民眾可能即將得到一個好消息。在不久的將來，他們或許可以不用先取得美國簽證，就能在美國洽公或旅遊長達九十天。因此，台灣旅客往後可省下目前需要支付的一百四十三美元旅遊簽證費用。2011年十二月，台灣已被列入美國免簽證計畫候選名單上的一員，但願焦急的台灣旅客能夠盡快得到這項免簽許可。
