im looking to go to ny next year - ive read all the information and feel i may need a visa

i had car accident 6 months ago i went on a driver improvement course instead of going to Court and the police took no further action.

I was stopped on motorway as car tax was out of date - again i wasnt arrested car was taken away and had to pay back tax and get it taxed within 14 days which i did

am i not eligble for visa waiver program - i will have a brand new passport nothing else in my past of concern.

Can anyone help?

Any ideas, is 2 weeks in New York too much? I wouldn't fancy two weeks in London, is it better to have one in New York, then spend a week somewhere else?
Thanks

Hi does anyone know if we will need a visa to enter the states for two weeks as i've been told you need the new passports with the biometric chips on it, my mates passport and mine was issued in 2002 so does not have it


apologies if this has already been asked

thank you!

You can go upstate in New York the state, my SIL has done New York and insists you can see enough to keep you happy in a few days, and that more than 5 will leave you washed out.

Niagara Falls is in New York state (the American side) you could do a road trip?

You may have been told that you need a bio-metric passport to enter the US but whoever told you was wrong you can use the old fashioned non-microchipped passports just fine.

Have a good trip

all the best
