Tips for traveling

Thinking of traveling to the United States? Preparing everything to travel to the United States for tourism? If you are thinking of taking a trip to the USA, I will bring you 10 tips to enter the United States. Pakistan tour packages If you follow my blog, you may know that I have traveled to the United States 4 times, of which I have only managed to enter three. The last time, my trip to the United States ended in deportation. Back home after 5 days of flights and frustration in the police rooms of the San Francisco airport, as I told in these three posts:

Therefore, if you are thinking of traveling to the United States and you want to have better luck than I do, I know well what I am talking about and how to get in and of course, here are 10 tips to enter the United States. The things you must do and what not to get through all the controls and that they do not send you back.

There are several requirements to travel to the United States that are essential, such as having an entry visa, Chitral Tours Packages an outgoing flight or a sufficient budget to pay for your trip . In addition, there are some other requirements that, although they are not essential, must be taken into account to ensure that you enter the United States.

Therefore, here I tell you what are in my opinion the 10 tips to travel to the United States that you need to take into account if you want to enter successfully and save yourself problems or long questionnaires at the border.

 1. Find out about the documentation you need (ESTA, Visa, etc.):

The first thing you have to do, if you are thinking of traveling to the United States, is to inform yourself well of the documentation you need to enter. In addition to your passport, which is essential, depending on your nationality and the reason for your trip, you will need a Visa (tourism, work, study) or the ESTA.

The ESTA (Visa Waiver) is a kind of electronic Visa that is requested directly over the Internet and that allows you to enter the United States for 90 days. It is valid for 2 years and costs only $ 14. To achieve this, you have to take a quick questionnaire online. Once answered and paid, the confirmation will reach you within a maximum period of 48 hours. If you want to know which countries can request ESTA, you can click here .

In the event that your country of origin is not among those who can request the ESTA, you will have to apply for a B1 or B2 Visa . It can also be requested online but in most cases you will have to attend a face- to- face interview at the US embassy in your country. The validity of these Visas can range from one to 10 years and the price is usually around $ 160. 

 2. The flights (outbound and inbound):

If you are going to travel to the United States for tourism, one of the essential requirements, especially if you enter by air , is to have a flight out of the country, usually back to your country of origin or to the next destination of your trip.

In fact, not having an outbound flight is reason enough to send you home deported, as I observed the last time I traveled to the United States and they sent me back home deported along with other travelers who had not purchased a departure flight.

So even if you don't know when you are going to return, my recommendation is that yes or yes buy an outbound flight. You can buy an open flight, one that you can change or one that is so cheap that you do not mind losing it and then buy a new one, in case you want to leave earlier or want to stay longer.

So don't risk it, travel with a departure flight . You can check out the best deals on Skyscanner. 

3. Reserve accommodation:

Another requirement to ensure entry to the United States is to have an accommodation reservation. You can book only for the first nights, but the more tied and more organized they see that you have the trip, the better.

In fact, when you enter, they will ask you to fill out a questionnaire and put the address of the hostel, hotel or house where you are going to stay, so take the address well pointed so that they do not catch you blank.

If you still do not have accommodation for your trip, you can search in Booking , in Hostel World or book in Airbnb with the € 25 discount that I give you. And I said, if you are going to move within the United States, the more accommodation reservations you are able to teach them, the better.

And if you are like me and you like to improvise, my recommendation is that you book accommodations that you can later cancel , so you will have reservations to show at the entrance and then if you want to improvise, you can cancel them.

 4. Travel insurance:

Another thing that you should not forget if you are thinking of traveling to the United States is travel insurance . As you know, health care in the United States is private, as well as prohibitively expensive, so travel insurance is something that should not be missing in your luggage, since any nonsense - breaking a wrist, breaking a hole, catching a strong infection - it will be very expensive and can cause you to go into debt for life , due to the expensive prices of healthcare.

That is why my recommendation is that you travel with travel insurance. You can contract with Chapka if you are from Europe, since in addition to having the most competitive prices, it is the one that offers the greatest coverage for the United States.
