US-Visit Program, Department of Homeland Security
Explains new entry and exit procedures for visitors with non-immigrant visas.
Who will be required to enroll in US-VISIT?
At this time, US-VISIT requires that most foreign visitors traveling to the U.S. on a visa have their two index fingers scanned and a digital photograph taken to verify their identity at the port of entry. Visas are required for most students, business travelers (depending on their length of stay) and millions of other visitors, regardless of where they live. NOTE: US-VISIT now applies to visitors seeking admission under the Visa Waiver Program as well as to travelers with US visas. It does not apply to U.S. citizens.
Learn more about the US Visit Program.
Visa Wavier Program
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. NOTE: As of October 26, 2004, visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries must present a machine-readable passport at the U.S. port of entry to enter the U.S. without a visa. If you do not have a machine-readable passport, a U.S. visa is required to enter the United States.
