To enter the US, your passport must be valid for the length of your planned stay. If you’re travelling through another country on your way to or from the US, check the entry requirements for that country. Many countries will only allow entry if you have at least 6 months validity remaining on your passport.
To enter or transit through the US, you must have either an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) visa waiver or a visa. The US State Department has more information on visas.
For details about medical entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro’s US guide.
There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of the US. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.
