Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, New York, and Chicago are highly chosen cities among tourists who wish to visit the United States.
When doing so for recreational purposes, having a U.S. visa fully valid is essential for the move to be authorized, although citizens from more than 40 countries have an alternative to enter legally and remain in the country for up to 90 days: use authorization from the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
This option is faster than applying for a U.S. visa from scratch and is available for nationals of member countries planning to travel in September, for example.
Who will be able to visit these cities in September without first applying for a U.S. visa
Through the VWP citizens of participating nations will be able to obtain an entry authorization that will allow them to travel for up to 90 days for tourism or unpaid business purposes.
For this purpose, it is necessary to file an ESTA application through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. If approved, the document will serve the same role as a tourist visa and will remain valid for up to two years, during which multiple visits can be made.
