Prepare the documentation you need to travel to California<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling to the United States can be more or less straightforward depending on where you are coming from and how long you want to stay in the country as immigration controls are quite strict. If you are traveling for tourist purposes, <strong>you will need to apply for the ESTA<\/strong>, a document that guarantees your entry to the country for 90 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application can be submitted online through the official website of the U.S. Embassy, and it is recommended <strong>to do it at least 72 hours prior to your trip.<\/strong> The processing fee is 14\u20ac and once approved, the ESTA is valid for two years. <strong>You will also need a return ticket<\/strong> to prove that you will be leaving the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, to access the country <strong>you will need a biometric passport with at least six months<\/strong> validity from your entry. And in case you want to stay in the country for more than 90 days for reasons other than tourism or business, you will need to apply for a specific visa.  If you are traveling from Spain, you will have to do it in person at the U.S. embassy in Madrid, where you will be interviewed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also possible that when applying for the ESTA you will be asked to have an interview if you have dual nationality or have visited any of the countries that the United States has vetoed such as Iran, Iraq or Cuba. The interview does not guarantee that you will be granted an ESTA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to drive during your stay you will need to apply for an <strong>international driving permit,<\/strong> which is valid for one year in most countries around the world. The fee for this is 11\u20ac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div

And if you travel to the north, in the mountainous area you may find the opposite, a really cold climate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to travel to the <strong>natural parks we recommend going in spring or summer, and if you want to enjoy the coast any time is good<\/strong>, although the best time is spring, when there are fewer tourists and temperatures are pleasant. We traveled in June and were able to enjoy both the beaches and the mountainous areas without getting too cold. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"30184\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/usa\/plan-trip-california\/attachment\/how-to-get-to-california\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"how-to-get-to-California\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"plan a trip to California\" class=\"wp-image-30184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-get-to-California.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">San Francisco Bridge @unplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-find-out-how-to-get-to-and-around-california\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Find-out-how-to-get-to-and-around-California\"><\/span>3.

It&#8217;s perfect when you plan to tour the country. Just remember that you&#8217;ll need to apply for an international driver&#8217;s license and calculate that the distances are very long. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boat:<\/strong> There are cruise ships arriving in California ports such as Los Angeles and San Francisco from other destinations, which will allow you to get around the coast. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We remind you that if you travel with the Passporter App you can buy and manage your airline tickets directly through the App with Skyscanner.
