Can I enter the U.S. at a land border crossing from Canada or Mexico using the VWP?
Yes. If you enter at a land border crossing you must complete and sign the Form I-94W, Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Form, and pay the land border fee, currently USD $6.00 (payable only in U.S. dollars). In addition, you must satisfy the immigration officer that you have funds to support yourself during your stay and to depart the United States. An approved ESTA is not required. If I enter the U.S. using the VWP, can I make a side trip to Canada or Mexico? Yes. You may be readmitted to the U.S. under the VWP after a side trip to Canada or Mexico (or adjacent islands*), but you will only be admitted for the balance of your original admission period. In other words, the total amount of time between your initial entry to the U.S. and your final exit from the U.S. – including time spent on a side trip to Canada or Mexico – cannot exceed 90 days. When re-entering the U.S., you must show evidence of the date of your initial entry into the U.S., such as a passport stamp. * The te
