Travel Requirements
To start your journey off right, ensure you have all the required documents, such as a valid passport and the appropriate visas.
Before departing, review the rules and regulations of your destination country and double-check that you have the correct paperwork. While remembering the key points of travel is important, preparation is key!
For international travel, you must have an up-to-date passport that meets the necessary requirements.
Verify that your passport was issued within the last 10 years by checking the Date of Issue.
Ensure that the Expiry Date on your passport is at least three to six months after your planned return date.
Make sure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your visit.
Each passport must be signed by its owner to avoid possible denial of entry or fines in certain countries.
Do children need passports?
Yes, children, including infants, need their own passports for international travel. Check the expiration date, as children’s passports must be valid for five years.
Obtaining the necessary permits and documents for travel
What steps are required to determine visa requirements?
Depending on your nationality and the purpose of your journey, you may need to obtain a transit visa—even for countries you’re passing through without going through customs—along your travel route.
This is in addition to the requirement of a valid passport.
What are the criteria for entry into the United States?
Residents from countries involved in the Visa Waiver Program, like the United Kingdom, have the privilege of entering the United States without a visa by utilizing the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).
Please make sure to submit your ESTA application at least three days prior to your planned departure to avoid potential denial of boarding.
