3 month holiday visa requirements?

Gingko · 2011-07-27 20:37:40

Hi folks! Can anyone tell me what the requirements are for the 3 month waiver visa? How much do you need to have in the bank? Or must you have a return ticket purchased? Thanks :)

The 3 months holiday thing isn't a visa, it's the Visa Waiver Program. All you need to do is fill is ESTA: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ As long as you haven't previously overstayed, have no major criminal conviction and have a return or onward ticket, you will be fine. It is good to know where you are staying the first night (hotel address or home of a friend), and they may ask you how much money you are bringing, but if you have a credit card that won't matter; you don't need to prove you have a certain amount in the bank.
