What are the travel restrictions for Europeans visiting the United States?

My friend is a citizen of Holland but lives and works in Switzerland. She visits me often for a couple weeks at a time and then returns. She comes every 2-3 months. She had some problems at immigration coming into the US last time she flew in because she didnt have an exit stamp when she clearly flew out the previous time (but they never gave her an exit stamp in her passport). She will be coming soon again and she is worried she may have problems at immigration again. What are the travel restrictions for frequent visits to the US?What are the travel restrictions for Europeans visiting the United States?If she comes and goes as frequently as you say then she probably travels on the 90 day visa. It's common. So she knows very well what stamps and other notations they put on there since she does it so often. It's ultimately her responsibility to make sure her 'papers are in order'. It shouldn't be a big deal for someone who does it every couple of months. After all it's not rocket science. It seems that she has just become a bit careless with her 'unofficial' responsibility. Customs people are not Gestapo, they're just government employees trying to do their job. If one of them fails to make some notation or put an exit stamp on there your friend needs to politely point it out. I'm sure they do the same thing every time she comes in or goes out. As far as your main question is concerned - there aren't any more restrictions on visitors as there are on us as far as going places and doing things are concerned. Hope this helps out. Tell her to be vigilant and pay attention when going through customs and don't worry.What are the travel restrictions for Europeans visiting the United States?You can't go to Texas.



They don't like you.



Anywhere else is fine.
