Passi

Jos omaat 10 vuoden Suomen passin, pääset USA:han viisumivapaasti turistina, jos passisi on ylipäätänsä voimassaoleva. Normaalisti rajaviranomaiset leimaavat passiin 90 päivää oleskeluajaksi. Jos passin voimassaolo kuitenkin on vähemmän kuin 90 päivää, saat oleskeluaikaa vain tuon ajan mitä passisi on voimassa.
