Check Your Passport Validity

You also need to have two empty pages in your passport for your entry stamp.

Careful research and planning will help you create your dream USA travel experience.

Booking Accommodation in the USA

Cleaning fees are too high to justify one-night stays. It’s probably cheaper to find a hotel. Be sure to do your research to accurately compare costs.

Flying To and Around the USA

If you are exploring the West Coast, it’s better to fly into Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO).
