Guam and Northern Mariana Islands: other federal VWP passports require ESTA
For VWP passports not using the separate G-CNMI program, CBP states that international travel to Guam or CNMI under the federal VWP requires ESTA.
- This records the federal VWP/ESTA route, not the G-CNMI program. It covers only tourism or business stays of 90 days or less, subject to federal VWP eligibility and admissibility.
- A compliant e-passport and approved ESTA are required before international travel. The VWP prior-travel and dual-nationality exclusions can require a visitor visa.
- Work, residence, credit study, crew, transit, diplomatic/official and special-document routes are excluded.

Guam and CNMI: other federal VWP ordinary passports require ESTA

- This covers tourism or business stays of 90 days or less, with an e-passport and approved ESTA before travel; it is distinct from the G-CNMI 45-day program.
- VWP Improvement Act prior-travel, dual-nationality, carrier, passport, admissibility and purpose limitations can require a visitor visa. Work, credit study, residence, crew, diplomatic, official, special-document, transit and final-admission cases are excluded.
