Travelling Visa - Completely Clueless!

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to take some time out and go travelling to the US.. I just want to know what is the maximum amount of time i can spend there?

Where can I find out information on travel visa's etc?

Thank you!

On the visa waiver program (VWP) you get 90 days. If you need longer than that, you'll need a B-2 visa... but if you're otherwise eligible for the VWP you won't get it. If you're eligible for the VWP, there's nothing you need to do except complete ESTA online, pass, and then get on a plane!

Start here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html.
ESTA: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/.
