Keep in mind: - Some countries require your passport to be issued at least 6 months before the day you arrive. Check your destination’s requirements if you’re unsure. - Passports must be kept in good condition, free of any damage beyond normal wear and tear, and material alterations.

Each passenger traveling to the U.S. under the VWP must have a: - Valid electronic (e-Passport) with this symbol on the passport cover - Valid ESTA If you present a non-electronic passport, a valid U.S. visa will be required or you’ll be denied boarding and entry into the U.S. [Apply for the Visa Waiver Program Opens another site in a new window that may not meet accessibility guidelines](https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/) ### Additional requirements Some countries have additional requirements for travel, so we recommend that you check the U.S. Department of State website for the latest information and sign up for their Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
