Journal Nr. 36 . D. 57. a .) of July 7, 1947. It is noted with satisfaction that according to a decree issued by the Ministry of Justice on June 27, 1947, visas are no longer required for citizens of the United States of American visit- ing Denmark. Note has also been taken of the fact that this decree does not affect the length of stay in the country and that application must be made to the competent Danish authorities if the stay exceeds three months or if the visitor wishes to take employment in Denmark. The United States Government in view of the above action regard- ing requirements for United States citizens proceeding to Denmark, has authorized its consular offices to issue to non-immigrant Danish subjects, other than officials, visas valid for any number of entries into the United States and its possessions during the period of 24 months from the date of issuance, provided they hold valid Danish passports and continue to maintain non-immigrant status. The period of validity of the visa relates to the period within which the visa is used for presentation at a port of entry and not to the length of stay in the United States, which is a matter for determination by the immigration or other appropriate authorities.
