    Hi,
    Im going to Boston in July and am going with the ESTA. But I'm flying to Vancouver in the middle of my trip to Boston. Any idea what I have to do in terms of Visas etc.?

    So it's Dublin>Boston>Vancouver>Boston>Dublin over 3 weeks.

    You need to get a Canadian e visa

    Otherwise its cool

    Just be sure to have the details of return flights to Ireland with you as you may not be able to check in Canada to the US

    Thanks,
    So just have the Canadian e visa to get into Canada. The the ESTA and proof of flight home to Ireland will get me back into the states?

    Pedantic correction: the ESTA won't actually be required for your re-entry to the US from Canada i.e. when you fly from Vancouver back to Boston.

    When you arrive in Boston (or do pre-clearance in Dublin or Shannon) at the beginning of your trip, you will get a 90 day travel permit for the US stamped in your passport. During that 90 days, you are allowed to leave the US to visit Canada, Mexico and/or the 'adjacent islands' (mainly the Caribbean) and re-enter the US under the original travel permit.

    The 90 day clock keeps running while you are outside the US but as long as you don't visit a different country (e.g. Brazil), you will not require a new travel permit to re-enter the US.

    So you will be admitted back into to the US under the original 90 day permit, it won't count as a new trip and hence it wouldn't matter if your ESTA expired while you were in Canada.

    Thats true you have to leave 'North America' by a approved carrier

    You still have the full CBP experience and a new stamp in the passport and they can refuse you entry if they want to, but highly unlikely.

    Vancouver has pre clearance so it will be done there and then, and they are not the most friendly CBP I've met.
