Diplomatic and Official Travel

Diplomatic and official travel

I have a diplomatic/official passport. May I enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program?

If you are traveling to the United States for business or pleasure and not for official business, you may use your diplomatic or official passport to enter the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program.

If you are traveling to the United States on an official mission for your government, NATO, the European Union or an international organization, you must have a visa.  Your ministry of foreign affairs or the protocol office in your organization should submit the visa application on your behalf accompanied by the appropriate note verbale.
