Hawaii, once an independent country, has been a US state since 1959. It is the only state comprised entirely of islands and the only state in the tropics. Hawaii is also well served by a number of airlines that offer non stop service to many of the islands.
However, most people still wonder. Does Hawaii require a passport to travel to?
The answer is simple. If you’re traveling directly to Hawaii from any other US state, you do not need a passport.
Whether you are a US citizen, permanent resident, or have any other visa, you simply don’t need a passport when traveling within the United States. The only document you would need is some sort of official identification that contains a photo of you, like a driver’s license. However, if Hawaii is your first point of entry into the United States then you will need a passport.
While you do not need a specific Visa for Hawaii within 90 days for sightseeing, short term business, or transit, but if you are traveling from abroad you will still need an ESTA. For more information on ESTA’s visit the US DHS Official Website.
