Before you travel — checklist

Check your passport has enough remaining validity for your trip to United States — many countries require at least 6 months beyond your travel dates, even for visa-free entry.
Start your visa application process well before your travel date — don't leave this until the last few days.
Budget for the entry fee (US$40.27) and check whether it needs to be paid in a specific currency or method.
Note this specific requirement for United States: Valid 2 years; VWP travel-history restrictions (Iran/Iraq/etc.) apply.
Check whether United States requires proof of onward or return travel — some border officers ask for this even when it isn't formally listed as a requirement.
Consider travel insurance that covers your trip to United States, particularly if any medical or emergency evacuation coverage is required or advisable for the region.
