Question

Hi im currently 17 years old, in about a year from now (when ill be 18) a friend of mine who is 19 (who will be 20) will be coming to the united states from australia to visit. he will be here for a few days and then we are planning on driving up to canada to meet another friend. what i need to know is what is it me and him will need to get into canada and later back into america. thanks for the help, and keep in mind when this is going to be is in a year when im 18 (a non-miner) and he will be 20. thanks for any help!

ps. im more concerned with canada than anything, but does he need anything else besides a passport to get into the states? ... trying to plan this out while we still have the year (last minute sucks).

Answer 1

Besides your passports you may need a driving license if you plan to drive-ANd you will need money! so gather it up from now and you will have a ball when  you get there-You can also make enough queries like accommodation-

Answer 2

Your friend will need a passport and visa, while you will just need a passport by then.
