US visa with NZ passport
I'm holding a New Zealand passport, i checked online it said NZ has joined the visa waiver program. I got my passport on 31/10/05 and I know to be eligible for the VWP, my passport needs to hv an integrated chip or the digital photo, how could i know is my passport has either of the requirement?
If my passport has either of the requirement, is that mean i do not need to apply a visitor visa (i'm going to hv a conference from late-may for about a week) or i need to apply an electronic one just like the one for australia?
many thx!

before you entered US, there is a website that you suppose to register with the US govt before you board the plane :housework:

”A VWP traveler who has a valid, [color=Red]machine-readable passport with a digital photograph [/color]does not need a new e-Passport until the existing passport expires, if the digital photograph passport was issued before October 26, 2006.”
"A VWP traveler with a valid, [color=Red]machine-readable passport without a digital photograph[/color] does not need a new e-Passport until the existing one expires, if the machine-readable passport was issued before October 26, 2005"
How can you tell yours is a e-Passport or has digital photo:
