European citizens do not need a visa to enter the USA for tourism or business for up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). They must get ESTA approval before traveling. For stays longer than 90 days or different reasons, they need a visitor visa, such as the B-2 or B1/B2 visa.
On the other hand, citizens from countries not included in the VWP must obtain a visa before entering the USA. This process involves submitting an application, attending an interview, and providing various documents. Typical visa types for travel are the B-1 Business Visa and the B-2 Tourist Visa.
Understanding the nuances of visa requirements is crucial for Europeans planning to visit the USA. Different restrictions apply based on the traveler’s nationality. In the next section, we will explore the steps involved in applying for an ESTA and obtaining a visa for those Europeans who require one.
