• City Transport: Subway runs 24/7, covering almost every corner of the city. Buses supplement the grid, while CitiBikes are available for short trips.

Visa Waiver Program (VWP)

Citizens of 40+ countries — including most of Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Israel — can travel to the U.S. without a visa for stays of up to 90 days, provided they obtain an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before departure.

• ESTA cost: ~$21 USD
• Validity: 2 years (or until passport expires)
• Apply online: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov
• Processing: Often instant, but apply at least 72 hours before travel

Standard Tourist Visa (B1/B2)

Travelers from countries not part of the Visa Waiver Program must apply in advance for a B1/B2 visitor visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate.

Processing times vary widely by country and can take weeks or months, so early planning is essential.

Passport Requirements

• Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
• Some countries are exempt under bilateral agreements, but 6 months validity is strongly recommended

Important Notes for HYROX Athletes
