visa: A machine readable passport with at least 6 months before expiry is required. No visa for UK citizens required.
Note: As of January 12, 2009, all passengers travelling to or through the USA who intend to take advantage of the Visa Waiver Program will be required to complete the ESTA I-94W form (currently paper-based and filled on arrival) online before departure to the United States, but preferably at least 72 hours (3 days) in advance. The new requirement is intended to bolster U.S. security by pre-screening participating USA Visa Waiver program passengers against terrorist and/or no-fly lists and databases. The electronic authorization, which will be valid for a two-year period, mirrors Australia's Electronic Authority system. The authorization will be mandatory for participating USA Visa Waiver Program citizens before boarding flights destined to the United States, but will not guarantee admission into the United States (since final admission eligibility is determined at U.S. ports of entry by CBP officers), and therefore, not meeting the criteria of a formal visa.
