Visa Waiver Program (VWP)

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of participating countries (see a link below) to travel to the United States without a visa for tourism or business (visitor [B] visa purposes only) for stays of 90 days or less. Travelers must be eligible to use the VWP and have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel.

To use VWP, you must be a citizen or national of a VWP-participant country. About requirements for using the VWP program including a list of VWP participating countries, please read the website shown below.
