VALIDITY OF THE DOCUMENT OF EXPATRIATION
To enter the United States of America, you need an entry visa and a machine-readable passport
with a digital photo that is valid for at least
the entire duration of your stay, calculated from the day of arrival.
A greater validity of the passport will allow, to those
who decide to extend their stay, the possibility of being able to do it without incurring bureaucratic problems.
For tourism purposes, instead of a visa, it is possible to
obtain ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization), an electronic travel authorization system
for citizens of countries participating in the VISA WAIVER PROGRAM.

The quickest way to get to Manhattan is by helicopter, which takes just 15 minutes, a taxi ride can take 45 to 60 minutes or more, depending on traffic. Perhaps the cheapest way, however, is the combination of the Airtrain with the local transport network.
The Airtrain is the elevated train system inaugurated in 2004, which connects the various airport terminals to the JFK / Howard Beach subway stop and the "Jamaica" stop of the LIRR line train, Long Island Rail Road. From "JFK / Howard Beach" you can reach Manhattan in about 40-60 minutes depending on the destination.
The local transportation system in New York is mainly based on the subway, the fastest way to get around the city. The network, which is very extensive with a development of 1142 km and 469 stations, is characterized by the fact that in addition to the local trains that stop at all stations, there are also express trains with stops only in the main stations. Unlike most urban areas in the US, most New Yorkers use public transportation rather than private cars.
