US releases 41 countries granted 90-day entry without visas (full list)

Citizens from 43 countries can now visit the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, thanks to the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

However, travellers must meet specific requirements and obtain approval through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before boarding their flight.

ESTA is an online system managed by US Customs and Border Protection that determines eligibility for visa-free travel under the VWP. It’s important to note that the stay must not exceed 90 days, and travelers must apply for ESTA in advance.

The VWP covers travel for tourism or business purposes. Participating countries include the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, among others. Countries like Nigeria and India are not part of the program.

Even if you’re a citizen of a VWP country, you will not qualify for ESTA if:

You have visited or were present in North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011.

READ ALSO:

1. You have visited or were present in Cuba on or after January 12, 2021.

2. You hold dual nationality with Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria.

3. If any of the above applies to you, you must apply for a standard B-1/B-2 visitor visa instead of using the VWP.
