Visas are required by everyone except the following:
1. citizens of countries under the Visa Waiver Program.
2. Bermudan and Canadian nationals, provided they are holding valid passports;
3. Mexican nationals provided they are holding a valid passport and a US Border Crossing Card.

Note: (a) Immigrants who have landed in Canada and British residents in Bermuda who have valid passports from Commonwealth countries or Ireland are no longer eligible to enter the USA without a visa. (b) As of 2nd August 2003 Transit Without Visa (TWOV) and International-to-International (ITI) transit systems have been suspended until further notice. It is now necessary for all passengers transferring in US airports to obtain a transit visa. This does not affect persons traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (see below).

The following will not be able to obtain a USA entry visa:
1. anyone who has certain serious disorders or infectious diseases deemed threatening to the property, safety or welfare of others;
2. people who have been arrested (except for very minor driving offences) or who have a criminal record;
3. addicts or abusers of narcotics and drug traffickers;
