    Normally they do not, they can visit up to 90 days for business or tourism without a Visa, but they MUST register for a travel authorization and meet certain other requirements, such as having a machine readable passport and/or biometric passport (depending on date of issue).

    Here is the info about the Visa Waiver Program

    My brother had to get a Visa to visit for 21 days last year, so whoever is giving out the answer of no here is incorrect

    Visa is not required if you are staying in US under 90 days. British is part of US Visa Waiver Program.

    No you don't. So long as you're a permanent resident of the UK, and obviously your passport will be valid. Hope you have a great trip!

    Not unless you committed a crime or something, no.
