Nigeria, South Africa, and Ghana are not included in the new visa waiver program for 2025 because they are implementing policy updates on permit privilege eligibility and other matters. The United States Department of State recently announced the 2025 visa waiver program (VWP) update, which includes a revised list of eligible countries and new travel policies. This update makes it easier for millions of people worldwide to enter the United States without a visa, making business, tourism, and transit travel more accessible. However, as the new VWP brings exciting opportunities for international travellers from many countries, some others are mourning the recent change. Under the 2025 visa waiver program, nationals of 40 nations are currently able to enter the US without a visa. Romania is a new addition to the list this year. Taiwan and the UK are still qualified, nevertheless, with certain restrictions. The Visa Waiver Program permits the majority of citizens or nationals of participating countries to enter the United States for up to 90 days for business or pleasure without a visa, according to the US Bureau of Consular Affairs website. "Travellers must meet all requirements outlined below and have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel," the agency said. You can still apply for a visa if you would rather have one in your passport, a visa for visitors. What is meant by the US visa waiver program? Travellers from qualified nations can enter the US for up to 90 days without a visa under the visa waiver program, either for business or pleasure. Eligible individuals can apply for an electronic system for travel authorization (ESTA) prior to departure, bypassing the drawn-out visa application process. What the 2025 VWP changed Romania is a major update to the VWP list, even though the most of it hasn't changed. Additionally, the United States has prioritized nations with strong diplomatic ties and border security norms and worked to strengthen security procedures. However, the U.S. visa and interview waiver program for 2025 does not apply to Romania, Taiwan, or the United Kingdom.
