Entry requirements for UK nationals: UK passport holders require a valid passport for travel to the
USA. Under the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), most British citizens
do not require a visa for holiday, transit or business purposes
providing their passports are machine-readable, the stay does not
exceed 90 days, a return or onward ticket is held and they check
into the US government ESTA website prior to departure. Entry requirements for Canadians: Canadians do not require a visa, only a valid passport. Visitors
should hold tickets and documents required for return or onward
destination. Entry requirements for Australians: Australian nationals do not require a visa for stays of up to 90
days under the Visa Waiver Program; a valid machine-readable
passport, a return or onward ticket is required if travelling by
sea or air and they must check into the US government ESTA website
prior to departure. Entry requirements for South Africans: South Africans must hold a passport valid at the date of entry;
a visa is also required. Visitors must have return or onward
tickets and the necessary documents for further travel. Entry requirements for New Zealanders: New Zealand nationals require a valid passport, but do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days under the US Visa Waiver programme. A machine-readable passport is necessary to qualify for the programme, a return or onward ticket is required and they must check into the US government ESTA website prior to departure. Entry requirements for Irish nationals: Irish nationals require a valid passport. Irish passport holders
qualify for the visa waiver programme, but a machine-readable
passport (MRP) must be presented to gain visa-free entry to the
country, which allows a stay of up to 90 days. Visitors must have
return or onward tickets, all necessary documents for further
travel and check into the US government ESTA website prior to
departure. Passport/Visa Note: Visitors entering the country under the Visa Waiver Programme
(VWP) must have a machine-readable passport (MRP) that has a bar
code on the photo page. From 26 October 2006 eligible travellers
under the VWP must include biometrics in their machine-readable
passports if they wish to enter the country without a visa,
containing unique personal data such as fingerprints or iris
details. All new passports issued on or after 26 October 2005 must
contain a digital photo image in order to travel visa-free. Due to
new security measures, all visitors to the USA will have a
photograph and two fingerprints taken by an inkless scanner on
arrival, including those travelling visa-free under the Visa Waiver
Programme. As part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
(WHTI), all travellers travelling between the United States and
Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean region are required to
present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or
re-enter the United States. If departing from the USA a valid
passport will be required by immigration authorities. A new
security regulation, in force from 2009, means that all visitors
who do not need a visa under the US visa waiver programme will need
to register online three days before travel. This will allow the US
government to screen all visitors before travel. The new programme
will be mandatory for all visa-free travel from 12 January 2009.

It is highly recommended that passports have at least six months
validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your
travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different
rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
Note: Passport and visa
requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travellers are advised to
check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.
