B-2 Visa vs ESTA: Understanding the Difference

The B-2 visa and ESTA serve distinct purposes for individuals planning to travel to the United States. The B-2 visa is intended for temporary visits, primarily for tourism, pleasure, or medical treatment. It is applicable to individuals from countries not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) or those intending to stay longer than 90 days. On the other hand, the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is an automated system utilized by citizens of VWP countries for short stays of 90 days or less without the need for a visa.
