usa 90 day visitor policy

[bubbles4920]

as a uk national you are allowed to visit the usa for a 90 entry visit. can you then leave after 90 days for example, go over to canada on a trip for eg. then get back in the usa for another 90 or does there have to be a certain time lapsed before next trip?

Question:
"If I enter the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, can I then travel to Canada/Mexico/ Bermuda or the islands in the Caribbean?"

Answer:
"Yes, provided you have a return or onward ticket. If your return journey will take you back through the United States, even if only in transit, the total trip, including both periods of time spent in the United States/Canada/Mexico Bermuda, or the islands in the Caribbean cannot exceed 90 days. If it does, you will require a visa."

Leaving for Canada does not count as leaving the USA. You have to leave North America completely before they will consider you for another visa waiver.

There is no set period for this - it's at the discretion of the US immigration service. What they will be trying to determine (and their decision, against which you have no appeal, can be totally arbitrary) is whether you are continuing your original trip (= refusal of entry) or starting a fresh one (you can be admitted)

If you want to stay longer than 90 days get a visa.
