On October 4, 2019, President Trump announced at a news conference that he has signed an agreement admitting Poland into the Visa Waiver Program, which will allow Polish citizens to travel to the U.S. without a visa for trips lasting up to 90 days at a time. Poland has been waiting to be admitted into the Visa Waiver Program for nearly 30 years and will join 38 other countries in the program. Individuals traveling to the U.S. pursuant to the Visa Waiver Program can only be admitted as business visitors (B-1) and tourists (B-2) and are generally not able to extend their status or change their status in the United States. They must also apply for and receive for authorization from the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before boarding their flight to the U.S. It is unclear from today’s announcement when exactly citizens of Poland would be able to travel to the U.S. pursuant to the Visa Waiver Program.

4 października 2019 r. Prezydent Trump ogłosił na konferencji prasowej, że podpisał umowę dopuszczającą Polskę do Visa Waiver Program, który pozwoli Polaków na podróż do USA bez wizy na podróże trwające do 90 dni. Polska czekała na przyjęcie do Visa Waiver Program od prawie 30 lat i dołączy do 38 innych krajów w tym programie. Polacy będą mogli podróżować do USA bez wiz na 90 dni w celach turystycznych (B-2) lub biznesowych (B-1), i generalnie nie są w stanie przedłużyć swojego statusu ani zmienić statusu w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Muszą również ubiegać się o zezwolenie z Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) i otrzymywać zezwoleine przed wejściem na pokład samolotu do USA. Z dzisiejszego ogłoszenia nie wiadomo, kiedy dokładnie Polacy będą mogli podróżować do USA na podstawie Visa Waiver Program.
