The details for a British passport.
FCDO: no visa for tourism up to 30 days; pay to extend up to 120 days. Until 31 Dec 2026, British passports only need to be valid for the visit when travelling for tourism. Complete the e-Ticket before arrival and departure (up to 7 days ahead). Fingerprints and photo taken at the border. Onward or return ticket required. Tourist card USD 10 is usually in the airfare (State Dept).
How long it must be valid.
Standard rule: valid for at least 6 months from arrival (US State Dept, travel.gc.ca). Temporary exemption until 31 Dec 2026: Canadian and British passport holders visiting for tourism may enter with a passport valid for the length of the stay; other purposes still need 6 months. The State Dept page (Aug 2025) mentions no exemption for US citizens. Cruise passengers who come ashore without 6 months' validity pay an escort fee of about USD 125 a day.
