What is a visa waiver?

A visa waiver is a program that allows certain foreign nationals to travel to the United States without a visa. The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) is administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and allows nationals of participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.

Travelers who are eligible for the VWP can apply for authorization to travel to the United States through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), an automated system that determines eligibility to travel under the VWP. ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, though we recommend applying as soon as you know you will be traveling.

To be eligible for the VWP, foreign nationals must:
-Be a citizen of a participating country;
-Have a machine-readable passport;
-Have a round-trip ticket; and
-Intend to stay in the United States for 90 days or less.
Travelers must also meet certain health and character requirements. For more information on these requirements, please see our website.
