Visa required to enter USA with UK Passport?
Hello. I am a dual Canadian-UK citizen who will be getting his UK passport soon ( I hope!). I am flying Buffalo to London return in March. I will likely use my Canadian passport, but would it be a hassle to use the UK one to enter the US? Do you need a special visa or paperwork if you are using a UK passport?

Canadian ppt will be less hassle. If you're going to use the UK ppt, you'll have to do an ESTA preclearance first, and enter the US on the Visa Waiver Program.

That's what I was thinking about then, the waiver program. Thanks. It would be best to stick to the CDN passport then. Cheers.
