Argentina Expected to Rejoin US Visa Waiver Program

In 2025, several countries have expanded visa-free travel agreements, enhancing international mobility for their citizens. The United States Secretary of Homeland Security indicated that Argentina is likely to rejoin the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows nationals of participating countries to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa, subject to strict security requirements and an ESTA authorization. Ghana has successfully secured visa waiver agreements with five countries, including Morocco, Mozambique, Dominica, and Colombia, as part of efforts to increase travel freedom for Ghanaian citizens. Indian passport holders have also gained visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to several new destinations, improving India's ranking on the Henley Passport Index and reflecting broader shifts in global travel mobility. Additionally, U.S. lawful permanent residents benefit from visa-free travel to certain countries, although travel has become more complex due to increased immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. These developments reflect ongoing global trends toward facilitating international travel while maintaining security protocols.
