Visa Waiver Program
Many users and other travelers are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which enables eligible citizens or nationals of certain countries to travel to the U.S. for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or fewer without a visa.
Travelers intending to use the VWP must first apply online through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) system. Apply as soon as you start making travel plans.
