Israelis Granted Visa-Free Travel to U.S. Amidst Ongoing Conflict
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that eligible Israeli citizens and nationals can now apply for visa-free travel to the United States through the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. Starting from October 19, Israeli citizens can apply for travel authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), allowing them to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa. This move follows Israel's admission into the Visa Waiver Program and requires applicants to have a biometrically enabled passport. The ESTA application process may take up to 72 hours for processing.
