Ann Arbor Entry Requirements

Visa, immigration, and customs information

Important Notice Entry requirements can change at any time. Always verify current requirements with official government sources before traveling.
Policies flip overnight. Immigration rules, visa specs, health checks, March 2026 info, already sliding. Check again. Call the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country. Pull up cbp.gov. Scroll travel.state.gov. Do it before you book.
120,000 people, one powerhouse campus, Ann Arbor packs more passport stamps per block than most Midwest towns twice its size. The city sits in Washtenaw County, Michigan, United States, and the University of Michigan keeps the lecture halls full and the coffee lines long. Because Ann Arbor is a U.S. city, U.S. federal immigration law rules the gate. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) run the show. There is no city-level immigration process, none. You enter the United States as a whole. After that, Ann Arbor is simply there for the taking. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), 30 miles southeast of Ann Arbor, fields most international visitors. Direct international and domestic connections land all day. You can also fly into Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or another major U.S. hub, but you will clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection at your first U.S. port of entry before the final domestic hop to Ann Arbor. Air, land crossing from Canada, sea, doesn't matter. All entry formalities finish at that first U.S. port of entry. Ann Arbor is a welcoming, internationally varied university city and a popular destination for academic conferences, Big Ten college football, restaurant culture, and arts events. Visitors should confirm their specific visa category, ESTA authorization if applicable, and any current health entry requirements well in advance of travel, as U.S. immigration policy can change. The information below reflects standard U.S. entry requirements for tourists and short-term visitors.

Visa Requirements

Entry permissions vary by nationality. Find your category below.

Ann Arbor sits inside the United States, so your first checkpoint is U.S. immigration. Three lanes exist. Canadians and Bermudians walk through visa-free. Forty-two nations qualify for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) but only after ESTA pre-authorization. Everyone else lines up for a standard nonimmigrant visa, usually the B-2 Tourist. Your lane decides every scrap of paperwork you need before wheels leave the ground.

Visa-Free Entry (No ESTA Required)
Up to 6 months at the discretion of the CBP officer at the port of entry

Canadian and Bermudian citizens walk straight into the United States, no visa, no ESTA pre-authorization. Tourism, business, transit: you're in. Geography explains the flood. Ann Arbor sits 45 miles south of the Canada-U.S. border, and Canadians form the city's biggest bloc of foreign visitors.

Includes
Canada Bermuda

Canadian citizens must still carry a valid Canadian passport, a NEXUS card, or an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) issued by a participating province. No exceptions. A standard provincial driver's licence alone won't cut it for air travel, period. Landing cards aren't required, but you'll need to state your purpose of visit, accommodation address in Ann Arbor, and intended length of stay. Be ready.

Visa Waiver Program, ESTA Required
Maximum 90 days per visit. The 90-day period cannot be extended

Forty-two countries. Ninety days. No visa needed. But skip ESTA and you'll watch your plane leave without you. Citizens of the 42 countries in the Visa Waiver Program can enter the United States for up to 90 days for tourism or business without a visa. Period. The catch? You MUST secure approval through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before you even reach the gate. Boarding a carrier bound for the U.S. without it? Not happening. ESTA must be approved before departure, don't gamble on last-minute airport clearance.

Includes
United Kingdom Australia New Zealand Japan South Korea Singapore Germany France Italy Spain Netherlands Belgium Sweden Norway Denmark Finland Iceland Switzerland Austria Ireland Portugal Greece Czech Republic Poland Hungary Slovakia Slovenia Estonia Latvia Lithuania Malta Luxembourg Liechtenstein Monaco San Marino Andorra Chile Taiwan Brunei Croatia North Macedonia
How to Apply: Skip the middlemen. Apply at the official U.S. government ESTA website: esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Most get approval in minutes, though the site warns 72 hours. Still, play it safe. Submit at least 72 hours before your flight departs. Once approved, that ESTA is good for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. One authorization, many trips.
Cost: USD $21 per application, USD $4 authorization fee plus USD $17 travel promotion fee. Pay only on the official CBP website. Third-party ESTA sites inflate fees and aren't official.

ESTA approval isn't a golden ticket. A CBP officer at the port of entry still holds the final say. Travelers who've been denied a U.S. visa before, who've visited Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, or Cuba on or after specific dates, or who hold dual nationality with one of those countries, they're generally barred from the VWP. They must apply for a B-2 visa instead.

Nonimmigrant Visa Required (B-2 Tourist)
The visa itself may be valid for 1 to 10 years with multiple entries; however, the authorized period of admission, stamped by CBP on entry, is typically up to 6 months per visit.

No shortcuts. If your passport says India, China, Mexico (most cases), Brazil, Russia, the Philippines, Vietnam, or any African, Middle Eastern, or Central Asian nation, you must secure a nonimmigrant B-2 Tourist Visa (or correct category visa) before you board a plane to the United States. Short stays, weekend trips, family emergencies, none of it matters. Zero exceptions.

How to Apply: Apply at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country. First, complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application form at ceac.state.gov. Next, pay the MRV application fee, currently USD $185 for B-2. Then schedule your visa interview appointment. Attend the in-person interview with supporting documents. Processing times vary widely by country and season. Some posts have appointment wait times exceeding several months. Apply early.

Mexican nationals with a valid Border Crossing Card (BCC) can visit border regions visa-free. Ann Arbor sits outside that restricted zone. A BCC alone won't cut it for Michigan, get a B-2 visa instead. Some nationalities hit administrative processing after their interview. That adds weeks. Plan for it.

Arrival Process

DTW is your first stop, no exceptions. Fly straight to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, roll across the Windsor/Detroit bridge, or connect through any U.S. city; you'll still face U.S. Customs and Border Protection at that first American doorway. Clear the booth, collect your stamp, and the rest of the country opens up. Ann Arbor? Go, no one will ask again.

1
1. Complete CBP Declaration Form or APC Kiosk
Skip the line, download the app. On international flights landing in the U.S. you'll receive CBP Declaration Form 6059B. Many airports, DTW included, now run Automated Passport Control kiosks and the free CBP One Mobile Passport Control app. They've cut primary-inspection waits by half. Key in your flight info, your U.S. address (I always punch in my Ann Arbor hotel), and every item you're hauling. One form handles the whole family.
2
2. Primary Inspection, CBP Officer
Walk up to the CBP booth. Hand over your passport, visa or ESTA print-out too. The officer checks, fires two or three questions, then scans you: all 10 fingerprints and a quick digital mug shot. Mandatory for most foreign visitors age 14, 79 under US-VISIT. Canadians and some diplomatic passports skip the prints. You'll get an admission stamp, class like "B-2" and a hard exit date, right in your passport.
3
3. Baggage Claim
Collect your checked bags right after primary inspection, no exceptions. Carousel first, then Customs. Even if you're flying straight on to Denver or Dallas, you still haul your suitcase off the belt at your first U.S. airport and hand it back to the airline for the next leg.
4
4. CBP Customs Inspection
Hand over your completed CBP Declaration Form, done. Most travelers breeze through after a thirty-second glance at the form. The officer might ask what you're bringing, the value of goods bought abroad, or your plans in the U.S. A few travelers, maybe 5%, get pulled for secondary inspection. That's a full baggage exam. Routine. Doesn't mean you've done anything wrong.
5
5. Re-Check Bags (if connecting domestically)
Land at DTW on an international flight and you're done after Customs, Ann Arbor is yours. Fly into another hub, Chicago, New York, and the rules flip. You'll drag your bags to the international arrivals re-check counter, hand them over, then sprint for your domestic gate.
6
6. Ground Transport to Ann Arbor
Skip the train, there isn't one. From DTW, Ann Arbor sits 30 miles west on I-94 and you have four ways to get there. Michigan Flyer/AirRide bus service runs direct to downtown Ann Arbor for about $12 one-way. Rental car desks pack the McNamara Terminal if you want wheels. Rideshare, Uber/Lyft, costs roughly $40, $60. Old-school taxi still works too. No direct rail link exists between DTW and Ann Arbor, though Amtrak does serve Ann Arbor station with trains rolling in from Chicago and Detroit.

Documents to Have Ready

Valid Passport
Your passport must stay valid for every single day you're in the U.S., no exceptions. The six-month rule? Doesn't apply. The U.S. waives it for citizens from countries with reciprocal agreements, and that covers most Visa Waiver Program nations. Still, if your passport expires mid-trip, you're out. Air travel demands the booklet, period. Passport cards won't get you through international air entry.
ESTA Approval Confirmation
You'll board no flight without it. ESTA is mandatory for all Visa Waiver Program travelers, and your airline will check it at check-in before you're allowed near the gate. Print the confirmation, or save it on your phone. The number helps. But your ESTA status is already tied to your passport. No visa stamp waits for you. Admission comes through ESTA and ends with a nod from the CBP officer at the booth.
U.S. Nonimmigrant Visa (B-2 or other category)
You need it. If you're not covered by visa-free or the VWP, this sticker isn't optional, it's mandatory. The visa goes right onto a passport page, no exceptions. Check the date. It must still be valid the day you land. Pick the right category, tourist, business, study, because border officers won't shuffle you into another lane. Get it wrong and you'll fly home.
Proof of Onward/Return Travel
CBP officers and airlines will ask for proof you're leaving before your 90-day window slams shut. Return flight. Onward ticket. Anything works. You're not legally bound to show it. Yet flashing that confirmation at check-in saves hours of hassle. Keep it ready.
Proof of Accommodation in Ann Arbor
Keep your hotel booking confirmation handy. Or your Airbnb reservation. Or the exact name and address of that private residence. You will need a U.S. address for the CBP Declaration Form, no exceptions.
Financial Evidence
CBP officers will ask how you'll support yourself. Bank statements, credit cards, cash, any of these work. No official minimum exists. Carry proof of $100 per day. That amount keeps you covered.
I-94 Arrival/Departure Record
Your I-94 is now electronic, no more paper card, for most air and sea arrivals. Grab your I-94 number and confirm your admitted class plus period of authorized stay at i94.cbp.dhs.gov. Save a printed or digital copy. You'll need the I-94 number when applying for a driver's license, opening a bank account, or re-entering the U.S. in the future.

Tips for Smooth Entry

Skip the line. At DTW, fire up the CBP Mobile Passport Control app or tap the APC kiosks, punch in your declaration, and you'll glide into the fast lanes, primary inspection wait times shrink fast.
Apply for ESTA the moment you've booked your flights. Don't wait. Approvals usually pop up in seconds. Yet the system can drag its feet for 72 hours. Extra paperwork requests still trip people up, expect delays.
Be direct. Answer CBP officers' questions honestly and concisely. Don't ramble. Don't volunteer unsolicited information, ever. Don't be evasive either. A friendly, calm demeanor works best.
Don't crack jokes about guns, drugs, or your visa at U.S. passport control. Ever. Officers have heard every punch line, they won't laugh. A throwaway line, clearly meant as a gag, can still land you in secondary inspection or on the next flight home.
Secondary inspection? Don't panic. It is routine, not a verdict. Stay calm. Answer straight. Hand over what they ask. Cooperate fully, every question, every time.
Check i94.cbp.dhs.gov within 24 hours of touchdown. Your admission class and authorized stay must match reality. Mistakes are rare. But fix them now, not weeks later.
Overstay by one day and the U.S. can slam the door for 3 or 10 years, length decides. One day too many also bans you for life from the Visa Waiver Program.

Customs & Duty-Free

U.S. Customs and Border Protection enforces federal customs regulations at every port of entry. Duty-free allowances cover only goods you're bringing permanently into the United States, not the items in your luggage for personal use during your trip. The U.S. maintains strict agricultural and biosecurity regulations. Violations carry significant fines even when unintentional.

Alcohol
1 liter (approximately one standard bottle) duty-free per person
21 or older, that's the cutoff for duty-free booze into the U.S. Bring more and you'll pay federal duty plus whatever state excise tax Michigan tacks on. State rules kick in only after you've cleared federal entry.
Tobacco
200 cigarettes (one carton) and 100 cigars (non-Cuban) duty-free per person
Cuban cigars aren't banned outright anymore. You must be 21 years or older. Personal importation is allowed, up to 100 cigars for personal use. But commercial quantities remain restricted. Tobacco products beyond the duty-free limit are subject to federal excise tax.
Currency and Monetary Instruments
You can haul in as much cash as you like, just don't slip past the $10,000 USD mark (or foreign equivalent) without filing FinCEN Form 105.
This applies to cash, traveler's checks, money orders, and certain negotiable instruments combined. Failure to declare is a serious federal offense, it can cost you the entire amount and land you in court. Declaring is not taxed, it is simply a reporting requirement.
Gifts and Merchandise
Goods valued up to USD $800 duty-free per person (the personal exemption)
Goods valued between $800 and $1,800 get hit with a flat 4% duty, no exceptions. Cross $1,800 and you're paying standard tariff rates. The catch? Items must be for personal or household use, not for resale. Here's the twist: that $800 exemption only works for U.S. residents coming home. Visitors, nonimmigrant tourists, can bring in personal items duty-free if they'll leave the country with them. Or they can claim the $800 exemption on dutiable goods.

Prohibited Items

  • Narcotics and controlled substances, marijuana included, remain federally illegal in the U.S., no matter what Michigan state law says.
  • Obscene materials, child pornography
  • Counterfeit goods, pirated copies of copyrighted materials
  • You can't legally bring home souvenirs from embargoed countries in commercial quantities, full stop. Specific restrictions apply to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria.
  • Federal law bans fireworks, explosives, and biological agents that don't meet standards. Hazardous stuff, gone.
  • Dog fur, cat fur, and items crafted from endangered species listed under CITES cannot cross borders without proper permits, period.
  • Absinthe with thujone content above U.S. legal limits

Restricted Items

  • Fresh fruits, vegetables, plants, and plant material, declare them all. Many are banned. Others need USDA inspection. The goal is simple: stop agricultural pests and diseases from entering.
  • Meats and poultry products from certain countries face bans, country-specific restrictions apply. Declare every food item.
  • Live animals and birds, forget spontaneous. You'll need permits, health certificates, and advance arrangement with USDA APHIS.
  • You can bring guns and ammo into the country, legally. Personal use only. You'll need proper documentation and must declare everything at customs.
  • Pack smart. Personal prescription meds, up to 90 days, slide through customs with the original script. Controlled substances? You'll need DEA paperwork.
  • Soil and biological specimens, require USDA/CDC permits
  • Pre-Columbian pieces, gold masks, clay figurines, carved jade, can land you in airport detention unless you carry proof they left Peru before 1991. Customs officers want paperwork: export permit, museum letter, dealer receipt. No document? They'll seize the artifact and fine you $2,500 on the spot.
  • Tobacco products in excess of duty-free limits, subject to federal excise tax

Health Requirements

No shots, no problem, almost. The United States won't demand a fistful of vaccine cards at the border. Yet health rules still matter. Before you fly to Ann Arbor, check two lists: U.S. entry rules and your own government's travel health advisories. Do it early.

Required Vaccinations

  • Tourists from most countries won't need routine vaccinations to enter the U.S., none at all.
  • Permanent residence applicants, immigrants and refugees, not tourists, must prove they've had shots for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, varicella, hepatitis A and B, and more. Temporary visitors don't need these records.
  • Yellow Fever certificate? Only if you're flying in from Yellow Fever zones, sub-Saharan Africa or tropical South America. CDC's rule, no exceptions.

Recommended Vaccinations

  • Routine vaccinations: get current on MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio, and your yearly flu shot.
  • COVID-19 vaccination: the U.S. scrapped its COVID-19 vaccination requirement for international air travelers in May 2023; vaccination isn't required but the CDC still recommends it.
  • Hepatitis A and B: recommended for most international travelers as a precaution
  • Meningococcal vaccine: get it before you hit University of Michigan campus events, crowds of students from everywhere, total mixing bowl.

Health Insurance

A routine emergency room visit in the United States can cost $1,000, $5,000 or more without insurance. Hospitalization runs $3,000, $10,000 per day. The country lacks universal public healthcare, and medical costs are extremely high by international standards. Travel health insurance is essential. Your policy must cover emergency medical treatment, medical evacuation, and trip cancellation. Your home country's national health system, NHS, Medicare Australia, whatever you've got, provides zero coverage here. Check for U.S. exclusions. Carry your insurance details and policy number at all times. Ann Arbor hosts University of Michigan Health (Michigan Medicine), one of the top academic medical centers in the country. The care is excellent. You'll pay for it.

Current Health Requirements: No tests, no shots, no paperwork, entry to the United States is wide open as of March 2026. The rules vanished in 2023 and haven't come back. Viruses don't read calendars, though; a fresh outbreak could slam the gate shut overnight. Check cdc.gov/travel, cbp.gov, and your own government's advisory within 14 days of wheels-up. If you've recently been in a hotspot, expect possible extra questions, confirm now, not at the kiosk.

Protect Your Trip with Travel Insurance

Comprehensive coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellation, lost luggage, and 24/7 emergency assistance. Many countries recommend or require travel insurance.

Special Situations

Additional requirements for specific circumstances.

Traveling with Children

A child needs the same paperwork as you, full stop. Each traveler, tiny or tall, must hold their own valid passport plus their own ESTA or visa when that applies. Kids ride along on the family CBP Declaration Form. One parent on the trip? Bring a notarized letter from the one who stayed home. Airline staff often demand it. The letter spells out the child's itinerary, the traveling adult's contact info, and the absent parent's contact info. Not a federal law for U.S. citizens, true, yet plenty of foreign exit points insist on it, and U.S. CBP officers may grill single parents or non-parent companions. Tuck copies of custody orders or guardianship papers into your bag if they exist. Children born in the United States are U.S. citizens and should travel on U.S. passports even if they have another nationality.

Traveling with Pets

Dogs entering the United States must look healthy. No rabies certificate needed from most countries. But the rules shift based on where your dog has lived the past 6 months. August 2024 changed everything. If your dog has set paw in a high-risk country for dog rabies, most places outside Western Europe, North America, and Australasia, within the prior 6 months, you'll need proof of microchip, U.S.-issued rabies vaccination, or a USDA-endorsed health certificate with serological titer test. Complex rules. Updated in 2024. Check the CDC dog importation page (cdc.gov/importation/dogs) weeks before you fly. Cats? Zero federal vaccination or health certificate requirements. Airlines still have their own pet policies. Service animals carry separate documentation demands. All pets, dogs, cats, ferrets, must be declared to CBP on your declaration form.

Extended Stays Beyond Visa/VWP Period

The 90-day limit is absolute, overstay once and you're barred from the Visa Waiver Program for good. Visitors admitted under the Visa Waiver Program (90 days) cannot extend their stay or change their immigration status from within the United States. Period. Those admitted on a B-2 Tourist Visa have one shot: file Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, with USCIS before your current stay runs out. Approved? You get up to 6 extra months. But USCIS is slow, 6, 12 months is normal, so file early. Planning to work, study, or settle long-term in Ann Arbor? Secure the right visa (F-1 student, J-1 exchange visitor, H-1B work, etc.) before you land. Converting from tourist to work or study status inside the U.S. is almost always blocked. The University of Michigan International Center (internationalcenter.umich.edu) gives immigration advising for students and scholars.

Crossing from Canada

45 miles. That's all that separates Ann Arbor from the Canada-U.S. border at the Detroit-Windsor crossing, Ambassador Bridge or Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, and the Blue Water Bridge near Port Huron. Canadian visitors love this route. Standard U.S. entry rules apply at land crossings. Canadians need a valid Canadian passport, NEXUS card, or Enhanced Driver's License for land/sea crossings. Third-country nationals crossing from Canada require their U.S. visa or ESTA. The Ambassador Bridge backs up, bad. Weekends, holidays, University of Michigan home football games: total chaos. Check current wait times at cbp.gov/travel/advisories-wait-times. NEXUS cardholders? Dedicated lanes, much shorter waits.

Dual Nationals

The United States allows dual nationality for entry, no restrictions. But the rules bite hard. If you're a U.S. citizen, you must enter and exit on your U.S. passport. Using a foreign passport for U.S. entry as a U.S. citizen? Not permitted. Holding citizenship in both a VWP-eligible country and a non-VWP country? You're still not eligible for VWP entry. You need a B-2 visa. Period. Here's the kicker: if you hold citizenship in a VWP-eligible country and have ever traveled to, or hold citizenship in, an ESTA-ineligible country (Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Cuba), you must apply for a B-2 visa. Your other nationality doesn't matter.
