Non-Immigrant Visas
THE VISA WAIVER PROGRAM (NOT APPLICABLE FOR NEPAL)
As of October 26, 2005, travelers from Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries with passports issued on or after that date wishing to travel to the United States visa-free must have a machine-readable passport with a digital photo or integrated chip. VWP travelers with machine-readable passports issued prior to that date are not subject to biometric passport requirements. < more >
