The United States has released the list of eligible countries for its 2025 Visa Waiver Program with countries such as the United Kingdom excluded from the program but remains eligible under specific conditions.
The list also does not include any African countries, such as Nigeria, Ghana, or South Africa.
The list of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) remains unchanged, however the inclusion of Romania represents an important update.
The United States has also focused on improving security checks and prioritizing countries that have strong diplomatic ties and high border security standards.
According to the US Bureau of Consular Affairs website, the Visa Waiver Program permits most citizens or nationals from participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days without needing to obtain a visa.
