American Visa Bureau » American Immigration » Tourist Visa
All visitors to the United States, except for Canadian and Mexican passport holders, require either a travel authorization or a visa to enter the country.
If you wish to travel to America as a tourist you will be required to either apply online for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization), or hold an American B1 or B2 travel visa.
ESTA is the new Electronic System for Travel Authorization. If you hold a passport from a Visa Waiver Program country, you must apply online for an ESTA before you travel to the United States.
Note: An approved ESTA is NOT an American tourist visa. While it provides travellers from Visa Waiver Program countries with an authorization to enter the United States on a short-stay visit for the purposes of business or tourism, it does not meet the legal or regulatory requirements to serve in lieu of a USA visa.
If you are not from a Visa Waiver Program country, or if you wish to stay in the United States for more than 3 months, you must apply for a Tourist Visa (B2), or a Business Visitor Visa (B1).
