Basic Traveller Documents

All international visitors travelling to the U.S.A require a passport, make sure you check your passport in advance to ensure it’s not expired. Also, we advise that you bring an alternate form of I.D. also, like a driver’s license which will be required if you're renting a car, also a credit card, as car rental companies will require this to guarantee your deposit, or you will have to pay a large cash deposit as an alternative.

Visas

Visitors from countries under the Visa Waiver Program (including the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain and Germany) do not need a visa.

In Flight

This form declares any goods you are bringing for your trip, as well as any exposure you’ve had to certain agricultural and wildlife products. Only one of these forms is needed per family.

At U.S. Customs  

Upon arrival at customs, U.S. citizens will stand in one line, while international travelers will be in another, make sure you’re in the correct line.

Once you’re in line, have your passport and US Customs Declaration Form handy, since your assigned customs official will ask for it.

After handing over your documents, it’s very likely you’ll be asked for a digital fingerprint, as well as a photograph, your customs official will then ask some basic questions about your trip purpose, length, and details about your accommodations. If you have nothing to declare, you can head to baggage claim.
