Visa Waiver Program
The Visa Waiver Program allows nationals of eligible countries to apply for admission to the United States for ninety (90) days or less, as non-immigrant visitors for business or pleasure, without first obtaining a non-immigrant visa. Non-immigrants who enter will be accorded either a Waiver of Tourist (WT) or Waiver of Business (WB) status for no more than 90 days. The visa waiver should NOT be used for students wishing to enter the U.S. to enroll in a full time degree program. The visa waiver status may not be extended or changed to another non-immigrant status from within the US.
