The United States operates a Visa Waiver Program (VWP), available to most British passport holders travelling on business, pleasure or transit from where they normally reside and who intend to stay in the US for less than 90 days, which allows entry into the US without a visa.

For details on entry requirements for the USA, check the US Embassy website www.usembassy.org.uk or the FCO Travel advice pages for the United States, under the section ‘Entry Requirements’.

News and future developments:

The website of the US Embassy in London contains full information on the requirements of the US Visa Waiver Program. Please check the ‘What's New’ section of their website for developments.
