Canada → United States: no visa needed

Continuously per entry

Source data as of 26 August 2026

How many days can you stay in United States?

Short answer

90 days

no visa needed; counting details below

Continuously per entry: 90 days
How the days are counted: afresh on every entry
Does leaving reset the counter: No — the days keep counting in the same window

When you travel to the U.S. for tourism or business under the VWP, you may stay up to 90 days per visit. ... For stays in the U.S. over 90 days, you must apply for a visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate while you are outside the United States. (This is the genuinely visa-free channel — ESTA / Visa Waiver Program: 90 days per entry, not extendable. The 180 days in our data corresponds to a B-1/B-2 visitor VISA admission, which is not visa-free. Note also that CBP officers scrutinise short-out-and-back trips to Canada/Mexico/the Caribbean, which do not reset the VWP clock, so a visa run is not reliable.)

Length-of-stay rules come from several sources. Some are verified by the OpenVan.camp Editorial team against official sources and show a verification date. The rest are extracted from open sources, most often Wikipedia, and are shown with a source link and the date they were retrieved. Vehicle import rules are shown only once verified. The underlying visa requirement matrix is the passport-index-data dataset (MIT licence), updated 17 February 2026.
