Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, New York and Chicago are among the most popular cities when visiting the United States.
In this context, the U.S. visa is essential when the trip is for recreational purposes, being one of the generally required documents that authorities demand when authorizing travel.
However, citizens of more than 40 countries who wish to travel in September and who have not obtained a visa have another faster and equally valid alternative to enter legally and remain in the country for up to 90 days.
Who can travel in September without a U.S. visa in their passport and with what document
Through the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) of the United States, citizens of participating countries will be able to process an entry authorization that will allow them to travel for up to 90 days for tourism or unpaid business purposes.
To travel this way, it is necessary to apply for an ESTA request 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 may be made.
