Travelers from around 40 countries can enter under the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) for stays up to 90 days; everyone else generally needs a B-2 tourist visa.
Requirements vary by nationality and change over time — always confirm current requirements for your passport before booking, and apply for ESTA well ahead of travel.
