Hi!

I'm a British citizen living in the UK all my life, however I hold dual citizenship. I am a Libyan national.

If I travel to the US with my British passport, will I have any trouble entering? And do I need a visa for a 2 week visit?

thank you!

Probably not, but...


... if you have visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria at any time since March 1, 2011, then you must apply for a B-2 visa even though you are a UKC and eligible to use ESTA/VWP.

If you have not been to any of these 4 countries, then you can use ESTA/VWP for your 2-week visit. Apply for ESTA here.

There are actually 7 countries on the list. Have you visited Libya since March 1, 2011?

According to CBP, if you have been to Libya or a few other countries at all since March 1, 2011, you need a visa (with limited exceptions for government/military service).

"Under the Act, travelers in the following categories are no longer eligible to travel or be admitted to the United States under the VWP:

Nationals of VWP countries who have traveled to or been present in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia Sudan, Syria or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011"

Is that March 2001 or March 2011 ... you have both written

Thanks for the catch. It's 2011 and I just edited it.
