WT/WB Visitors
The Visa Waiver program enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the United States for business (WB) or pleasure (WT) for 90 days or less without obtaining a U.S. visa. Persons in WB or WT status are not eligible for employment in the United State. Like persons in B-1 and B-2 status, persons in WB and WT status can be reimbursed for travel expenses and per diem and may be eligible to receive customary academic honoraria incident to a campus visit of nine days or less.
Applicants for entry in WB or WT status must have business or tourist intent, a passport issued by a participating country, an onward or round-trip ticket (or, if entering by land, evidence of financial solvency and a home abroad to which the applicant intends to return), and not be otherwise inadmissible for entry under immigration law. WB and WT status cannot be extended in the United States.
