Do I need to apply for a visa to tour the US?

Question

I live in Australia and have a temporary resident status. I would like to visit the US for 2 weeks. I know that Australian citizens are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program. Does this include residents of Australia?

Answer 1

No.  Your need for a visa is determined by your citizenship, not residency.

Answer 2

Citizenship always determines what visa regulations apply.  Residence is irrelevant.

Answer 3

Where you live is irrelevant. It is your nationality.
