Re-Entry as a Tourist

[Owen Griffin]

Hello,

A friend of mine is trying to re-enter as a tourist. She visited last summer, but we're not sure if she needs to have a proof of insurance when she gets here. Can anybody say for sure if that's going to be necessary?

Travel health insurance is NOT mandatory to enter US as a visitor.

Cool, and not that I don't trust you, but is there a link to maybe a State Department or Customs and Immigration website where they list what you need to bring upon re-entry?

[peace999]

the website is cbp.gov

I have been to US 5 times as a visitor and all they have ever asked is purpose and duration.
No documents checked ever.

If one's answers or previous immigration history points to one being a potential immigrant / offender
they may check;

1.Your air ticket -- you should have a round trip ticket and it should not be open.
2.Documents proving purpose-- carry an invite from your US host or the business person whichever applies.
3. Evidence of your ties back home ( job/vocation/family ties).
