The American Embassy to the Danish Ministry for ForeignAffairs AMERICAN EMBASSY Copenhagen, June 9, 1947 AIDE - MEMOIRE It is understood that the Danish Embassy at Washington has in- formally discussed with the Department of State the possibility of effecting a reciprocal arrangement for the abolition of non-immigrant passport visa requirements. Unfortunately Section 30 of the Alien Registration Act of 1940 makes it impossible for the United States Government to enter into an agreement for the abolition of visas for persons entering the United States. However, should the Danish Government feel disposed to waive visa requirements for American citizens entering Denmark for a temporary period, the Government of the United States would be inclined to grant gratis visas valid for twenty-four months to Danish subjects coming to the United States for a temporary visit. Such visas would be valid for any number of entries into the United States or United States territory within the period above mentioned, pro- vided the non-immigrant status of the bearer is maintained at the time of each application for admission. The period of validity of a visa relates only to the period within which it may be used in con- nection with an application for admission to the United States, but does not refer to the length of the stay of the alien in the United States, which is a matter within the discretion of the immigration authorities.
