What changed

Unchanged between the 12 January 2025 and 17 February 2026 datasets: electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before departure.

The official portal

Competent authority: U.S. Department of State / CBP. It is the only source that counts.

Medical insurance

Many consulates require proof of medical insurance among the supporting documents — the Schengen area, for instance, asks for €30,000 of cover. The exact list is on the official portal above: that is the authority, not us.

Mobile data on arrival

An eSIM is bought online before you leave and installed on a compatible phone: data from the moment you land to pull up your bookings and find your way, with no roaming charges and no shop to track down.

What this page does not replace

Entry rules change often, sometimes overnight. This record gives the known state, with its source; it does not replace checking with the destination’s embassy or consulate, the only authority on the day you leave.
