The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. This program aims to facilitate travel and strengthen ties between the U.S. and participating countries. To be eligible for the VWP, travelers must meet specific requirements, including holding a valid e-passport and having an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). The program enhances security while promoting tourism and business exchanges, making it easier for visitors from partner countries to experience the U.S.
