Travel to or through United States of America using an Emergency Travel Document (ETD)

 

From 1 July 2009 all holders of New Zealand Emergency Travel Documents travelling to or transiting through the USA require a non-immigrant visa class B1 or B2 from the USA authorities.

USA Customs and Border Protection may exercise discretion at ports of entry if you are travelling for medical or other emergency reasons but you may be detained for further processing and/or denied admission.
