With Israel reportedly having met all the U.S. Visa Waiver Program’s eligibility requirements, some thought an announcement could be forthcoming during Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Washington.
The program “enables most citizens or nationals of participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa,” per the U.S. State Department website. Travelers must have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel and meet all requirements explained below. If you prefer to have a visa in your passport, you may still apply for a visitor (B) visa.
