New Requirement for USA
If you are from different country other than USA or Canada, please consult with embassy and contact our travel agents regarding required identication requirements.
My suggest, if you don’t have US Passport, it’s good time to apply NOW, not waiting until last minutes. Because, to get new passport will take about 30 to 60 days on averages.. sometimes even rarely case– longer than that.
