Times to Travel The United States is a popular destination year-round, with major attractions and national parks most crowded in the summer. Fall is a desirable season in most areas of the country, especially in the New England, Midwest and Mountain states.

California, Florida and Texas are ideal (escape the winter) destinations, and if winter sports are to your liking, the Rocky Mountain states feature some of the best skiing on the planet.

In short, the USA has a perfect destination for anyone, at anytime of the year.

Visas United States entry requirements are the same in all states, with most travelers requiring a visa.

There are exceptions as Canadian citizens only need proof of that citizenship. Travelers coming to the U.S. for tourism or business for 90 days or less from qualified countries may be eligible to visit the U.S. without a visa.

Currently, 26 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Pilot Program: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Visitors entering on the Visa Waiver Pilot Program cannot work or study while in the U.S. and cannot stay longer than 90 days or change their status to another category.

For the latest information, including required documentation, any interested party should apply at the American Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over their place of permanent residence.
