Crossing Borders Reminder

June 2, 2009
The second phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative took effect on June 1. This law requires all people traveling by air to present a passport or other valid travel document (dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders/#0) to enter or re-enter the U.S. The WHTI affects travel to and from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean nations. The agency recommends knowing the entry requirements of the country you plan to visit prior to your trip.
