​Do you plan a journey to the U.S.? Do you know what VWP is?

The Visa Waiver Program is a United States government programme allowing entry without a visa, which requires an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before boarding any means of transportation, air or sea, to the United States.

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables most citizens or nationals of participating countries* to travel to the United States for tourism or business for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. Travellers must have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval before travel and meet all requirements explained below. If you prefer a ticket in your passport, you may still apply for a visitor (B) visa.

ESTA is a web-based system operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to determine eligibility to travel under the VWP to the United States for tourism or business. Visit the ESTA webpage on the CBP website for more information.

 In most cases, your ESTA will be valid for two years. You also must obtain a new ESTA if you:
  1. Receive a new passport, including an emergency or temporary passport.
  2. Change your name.
  3. Change your gender.
  4. Change your country of citizenship.
  5. You need to change your responses to any of the “yes” or “no” questions on the ESTA application.
