Is a passport needed when flying to Canada and returning to the US?
Question:Is a passport needed when flying to Canada and returning to the US? Answer: Do yourself a favor and stop worrying about country specific question like this. There are close to 200 countries in the world. Are you going to compile a spreadsheet to track each? Just carry a passport whenever you have to cross the U.S. border. Problem solved!!! On the other hand, if this is about the cost of a passport, ($110 application fee and a $35 execution fee. The total fee is $145 as of Jan 2020), since a US passport is good for 10 years, it averages to $14.5 per year. If you cant afford this much per year, my advice is dont travel internationally :)
