FAQ
Do I need a visa for all 3 countries?
Only if you plan to attend matches in all three. ESTA covers the USA, eTA covers Canada, and Mexico issues an FMM tourist card on arrival.
Can I use one ESTA for multiple US cities?
Yes. One ESTA is valid for 2 years and unlimited entries to any US city.
How long does ESTA approval take?
Usually instant. Apply at least 72 hours before travel to be safe.
What if my ESTA is denied?
You'll need to apply for a regular B1/B2 visitor visa at a US embassy. Allow several weeks.
I'm flying into Toronto — do I need ESTA?
No. If you fly directly to Canada and don't transit through the US, you only need eTA (and a valid passport).
