It's already time to start thinking about your winter holiday plans — especially if they include international travel.
September 27, 2022, 3:06 PMThe U.S. State Department says it's already time to start thinking about your winter holiday plans, especially if they include international travel.
Before March 2020, standard processing times took between five to seven weeks and two to three weeks for expedited applications. Now, the State Department says travelers can expect a wait of eight to 10 weeks for regular service and four to six weeks if they fast-track their request, which requires having a trip planned to a foreign country within 14 days and paying an extra $60 fee.
The new program was developed as a result of an executive order issued by President Biden in late 2021 that instructed agencies to cut down on bureaucratic hurdles to access government services, reducing the "time tax" Americans pay while navigating outdated systems.
