United States 2026 Holiday Travel Guidance for Foreign Nationals
Foreign nationals travelling internationally over the 2026 holiday season are encouraged to plan ahead as increased immigration scrutiny and limited visa appointment availability could affect travel and re-entry to the United States.
Before traveling, individuals should check their passport and visa validity, confirm any required ESTA or other travel documentation, and consider whether pending immigration applications could be affected by leaving the country. Travelers should also be prepared for additional screening at U.S. consulates and ports of entry.
For a detailed breakdown of the requirements and practical steps to take before traveling, read the full guidance on Fragomen’s website.
