Citizens of Canada, Newfoundland, Bermuda and the Bahama Islands, or British subjects domiciled therein (but not merely passing through in transit) shall not be required to present passports, identity cards, permits or similar documents in entering the United States directly from those countries or from any of the other countries above specifically mentioned.

Aliens of any nationality, who are regularly domiciled in the United States, but who have proceeded to Canada, Newfoundland, Bermuda, the Bahama Islands, St. Pierre, Miquelon or Mexico, and who return directly from any one of these countries to the United States within six months of their departure, also are not required to present passports or similar documents or visas.

If there is no American consular officer stationed at that port, the crew list should be submitted at the first port of call (if the vessel touches at any other port) where an American consular officer is located. This does not refer to consular agents, who are not authorized to visa crew lists.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED OF ALIENS ENTERING THE
UNITED STATES

FROM JULY 1, 1924, TO FEBRUARY 1, 1925

[Executive Order No. 4027 of June 14, 1924]

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Act of Congress approved May 22, 1918, entitled, "An Act to Prevent in Time of War Departure from and Entry into the United States Contrary to the Public Safety," as extended by the Act of Congress of March 2, 1921, entitled, "An Act making appropriations for the Diplomatic and Consular Service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922," and with reference to the Act of Congress of May 26, 1924, known as the "Immigration Act of 1924," I hereby prescribe the following regulations governing the entry of aliens into the United States:

I

IMMIGRANTS

They must present immigration visas, quota or nonquota, in accordance with the requirements of the Immigration Act of 1924, except Children born subsequent to the issuance of the immigration (1)

visa of the accompanying parent. (Sec. 13 (a) (1), Immigration Act of 1924.) Such children are not required to present documents of any kind;

Executive Order No. 3689 of June 8, 1922, is an amendment to Executive Order No. 3629 of February 1, 1922, which was a wartime measure and applicable only to cases during the period from August 8, 1918 to July 1, 1924, inclusive.

II

NONIMMIGRANTS

With the exceptions hereinafter specified, they must present passports or official documents in the nature of passports issued by the governments of the countries to which they owe allegiance, duly visaed by consular officers of the United States;

Exceptions:

(1) Persons in transit through the United States to a foreign destination. They may present transit certificates according to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of State.

(2) Aliens who are passengers on vessels bound for foreign ports and touching at ports of the United States. They may land temporarily, under regulations prescribed by the Department of Labor, without documents of any kind.

(3) Wives and children under sixteen years of age accompanying their husbands or parents. They are not required to present separate passports if they are mentioned in the passports of their husbands or parents and their photographs are attached thereto.

(5) Seamen. Masters of vessels of all nationalities sailing for a port of the United States must submit for visa a list of all the alien members of the vessel's crew to the American consular officer at the port from which the vessel commences its voyage. If there is no American consular officer stationed at that port, the crew list should be submitted at the first port of call (if the vessel touches at any other port) where an American consular officer is located. This does not refer to consular agents, who are not authorized to visa crew lists.

When a vessel sails from a port where no American Consul is stationed, but which is within a few hours reach by mail of an American Consulate, so that unreasonable delay and serious loss would not result from referring the crew list to such Consulate, it should be referred thereto for visa.

If an alien seaman whose name is not included in a visaed crew list arrives at a port of the United States he shall not be allowed to land except upon the permission of the Secretary of State.

(6) Aliens making round-trip cruises from American ports without transshipment from the original vessel to another one while en route, provided the original contract for passage calls for transportation from an American port to the ports included in the cruise, and return to either the original or another American port, require no visas for reentry into the United States.
