Visa & EntryPhiladelphia

Visitors from Visa Waiver Program countries need an approved ESTA, tied to their passport, before flying to the United States. Apply online early; most approvals come quickly and an ESTA is valid for two years or until the passport expires.

Travellers from non-Visa-Waiver countries must obtain a B-2 visitor visa from a U.S. embassy or consulate before the tournament. Appointment wait times can be long, so apply as far ahead as possible.

All arrivals are inspected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Carry a valid passport and your match and stay details, and review duty-free and currency-declaration rules before you travel.
