US ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-CANADIAN CITIZENS
Since January 12, 2009, any person entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program has been required to hold an approved ESTA Travel Authorization. ESTA stands for Electronic System for Travel Authorization. ESTA is an online application system developed by the United States government to pre-screen travelers before they are allowed to board an airplane or ship bound for the United States. For more information about ESTA see http://www.esta.us/
The Visa Waiver Program is a U.S. government program that enables citizens and nationals from the 36 Visa Waiver Countries (http://www.esta.us/visa_waiver_countries.html) to enter the United States for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa. The advantage of entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program is that you can travel to the United States on short notice without obtaining a visa.
