Most green card holders will need to present the passport from the country where they're a citizen, or in some cases, their refugee travel document. You should also be sure to have your green card on you for the duration of the trip. And remember different countries have different requirements for entry.

Ing to USCIS data from 2023, the average processing time for Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) varies between 3 to 7 months, depending on the service center handling the case and the specific category (e.g., refugee travel document, re-entry permit).

To apply for a re-entry permit, you must file Form I-131 (“Application for Travel Document”). This form collects details about your planned trip, your foreign travel since becoming a green card holder, and whether you've been properly filing U.S. tax returns.

If you are a permanent or conditional permanent resident who has been outside the U.S. for one year or longer, apply for a re-entry permit before you travel. Use Form I-131 - Application for Travel Document. For permanent residents, the re-entry permit is valid for two years from the date of issue.

You must be a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) or a conditional lawful permanent resident (conditional green card holder). You must have the intention to leave the United States temporarily. You must file a Form I-131 and prove supporting documents (your immigration lawyer can file this for you).

A travel document lets the U.S. government know about your travel plans. This is for anyone who is not a U.S. citizen but is living in the USA. You can use a travel document instead of a visa as proof of travel authorization. You must get your travel document before you leave the country.

Each line on the back of the green card contains 30 characters. The green card number is located in the last 13 characters of the first line, followed by two space holders. To be exact, the green card number is the characters for digits 16-28, followed by “>>.”

What documents do I need to travel outside the United States?

In addition, the foreign country may have additional entry/exit requirements (such as a visa).
