TRAVELS/TOUR
Countries eligible for visa-free US entry in 2025

Planning a trip to the United States? You might not need a visa! The United States government has updated its Visa Waiver Program (VWP) for 2025, allowing citizens from 43 countries to travel visa-free for up to 90 days.
This development opens doors for millions of travelers visiting the US for tourism, business, or transit purposes.
The Visa Waiver Program is a US government initiative that allows citizens from approved countries to enter the United States without a visa for up to 90 days.
To qualify, travelers must apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before boarding their flight. ESTA is a secure, automated online system operated by US Customs and Border Protection that determines eligibility for visa-free travel.
Key VWP Requirements
Before packing your bags, ensure you meet these conditions:
*You must hold a passport from a VWP country.
* You must apply and receive ESTA approval prior to travel.
* Your stay must not exceed 90 days.
* The trip must be for business or tourism only.
* You must not have visited certain restricted countries.
Who Is NOT Eligible for VWP?
* Even if you’re from a VWP country, you may not qualify if:
* You visited North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011.
* You visited Cuba on or after January 12, 2021.
* You hold dual citizenship with Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, or North Korea.
* If any of these apply to you, you must apply for a standard B-1/B-2 US visitor visa instead.
