  • I might add that it might be worth ensuring that the US is aware you have left after those few days before entering Canada/Mexico (in particular Mexico where there may be no passport check when you enter), otherwise when trying to re-enter after the 90 days it may look like you're just trying to reset the clock

  • Additionally I believe entry to the US under VWP requires an onward ticket, so having one after the 90 days might help, but also might mean that the airline could be reluctant to let you board the first flight to the US

    I believe it is “you MAY be readmitted”, not “you will”, and it is to the appreciation of the CBP officer. Also IIRC there’s a mention of a “short stay” in Canada/Mexico/etc, the limit being usually placed at 30 days.

  • I am not sure if the officer has discretion. I will edit to "will normally ", which I am confident is true. I'm guessing if you transit through the US, then return 80 days later and want to spend 20 days in the US you would be allowed, but immigration rules aren't always sensible.

  • @Midavalo the "round-trip ticket" requirement is satisfied if the return trip is within 1 year of the date of admission.
