Who needs a visa?
Anyone traveling on an Israeli passport needs a visa to enter the United States. If you hold a non-Israeli passport and are traveling to the United States on a short visit for business or tourism, you may be eligible to enter the United States without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Please note: Travelers born in the United States and those who hold dual citizenship with the United States must enter and depart the United States on U.S. passports.
