Starting May 7, 2025, only REAL IDs, passports and TSA-approved documents will be accepted for boarding U.S. domestic flights and accessing federal buildings. REAL IDs and compliant licenses are marked with a star in the top right corner.

The United States requires all non-citizens entering the country, including those for transit/stopovers, to apply for a visa or an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) at least 72 hours before departure. Moreover, as of September 2010, a tax is mandatory for all tourists who do not require a visa.

Passport and visa/transit visa
All citizens (including Canadian citizens):
Passport, visa and/or health requirements can change and can vary depending on the passenger's nationality. Please check with the relevant authority (embassy, consulate etc.) well in advance of travel. Obtaining passports and/or travel visas may require lengthy processing times and entry to another country may be refused even if your required information and travel documents are complete. Many countries require your passport to be valid for a period of (a minimum) six months beyond your return date.

You should ensure that you meet the passport, visa, affidavit, health and other requirements of the countries you wish to visit and those that you transit (even if it is for a plane change). We accept no responsibility should you be denied boarding or be deported for any reason, including, but not limited to your age or invalid travel documentation. Please check the documentation and/or inoculations needed for your destination(s) before you travel. You may contact us directly to request assistance for any further questions regarding travel documentation. Our office is open 24/7 for your convenience.
