Travel history or dual nationality can change ESTA eligibility
Cuba travel from 12 January 2021, or travel to North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen from 1 March 2011, can require a visa. Certain dual nationalities are also excluded. Check the official exceptions.
Official guidanceA short side trip does not restart the 90 days
Short visits to Canada, Mexico or nearby islands generally count within the original VWP admission period.
Official guidanceA prior U.S. visa refusal can affect ESTA
A recent U.S. visa refusal may lead to an ESTA denial, additional review at the port of entry or refusal of admission. Check your eligibility before travel and apply for a visa if the official guidance says the Visa Waiver Program does not fit your case.
Official guidanceA Visa Waiver Program visit cannot normally be extended
VWP visitors cannot extend their admission period or change to another immigration status in the United States. Leave on or before the admit-until date recorded by CBP; contact USCIS immediately if an emergency prevents departure.
