But only about half of temporary visitors (< 90 days) from other countries fill out a visa. For the other half the requirement is waived under the Visa Waiver Program which was established in the early 1980s. IN FY2013 1,257 visitors came from Brunei (a predominantly Muslim country with a Sultan). While the quantity of visitors is insignificant out of the over 50 million that temporarily visit the country, most of them are rich. The poll is will this country be made a test case. ========================== Nonimmigrant Admissions (I-94 only) by Country of Citizenship: Fiscal Years 2011

As we said earlier in Asia Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are among the 38 countries, but also 5 holdovers from the British Empire Days: Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Brunei. Brunei is 2/3 Muslim, but is not normally associated with any radical Islamic groups. Brunei is more associated with lavish spending, and inviting sexy girls (preferably Penthouse pets or similar) to visit for parties. |
