United States visa policy & requirements

The United States offers several entry options depending on a traveler's nationality and purpose of visit. Citizens of certain countries may be eligible to travel under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows stays of up to 90 days for tourism or business without obtaining a traditional visa. Those under the VWP can apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) online. It is typically valid for two years or until the traveler's passport expires, whichever comes first.

If your nationality is not part of the VWP, if you plan to stay longer than 90 days or engage in other activities such as attending conferences, negotiating contracts, or tourism with extended stays, you typically need to apply for a B1/B2 visa. The B1 visa is designated for business-related visits, while the B2 visa is for tourism, medical treatment, or visiting family and friends. These often allow multiple entries and can be valid for several years, though each stay is generally limited to six months.

Common questions

The only nationality that does not require a visa for the US is Canadian. Citizens from any other country will need an ESTA or B1/B2 visa.

Citizens of the following countries are part of the Visa Waiver Program and can therefore apply for the ESTA:

Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom.

However, these nationalities will be rendered ineligible if they visited the following countries on or after March 2011:

  • Iran
  • Iraq
  • Libya
  • North Korea
  • Somalia
  • Sudan
  • Syria
  • Yemen
  • Cuba (on or after January 2021)

Visa Waiver Program travelers that have visited those countries will no longer be allowed to apply for an ESTA and will need a B1/B2 visa instead.

Not with an ESTA, but you could extend your stay with a B1/B2. It will depend on the reason to ask for an extension, having a nonimmigrant visa that remains valid and having a valid passport for the entire duration of your stay.

No, for that you would need a United States work visa.

Yes, both the ESTA and B1/B2 allow for multiple entries.

No, you need to apply before traveling.

No, it is not mandatory. However, since the United States has one of the most expensive health systems in the world, it is recommended to get travel insurance for the US.

Yes, you will need a visa for the FIFA World Cup 2026, just as if you were traveling for tourism or to visit friends or family. Depending on your nationality, you will need to apply for an ESTA or B1/B2 visa.

Yes, unless you are a Canadian citizen. That is the only nationality that can travel to the US without an ESTA or visa.

The ESTA processing time is usually 72 hours, but if you opt for urgent processing, you can get it in under 24 hours.

The ESTA is valid for 2 years or until the passport used in the application expires, whichever happens first.

You should apply at least one week before your planned arrival date in the US.

Thanks to ImmiAssist's simplified form, you can apply for an ESTA in just a couple of minutes!
