International Travel
U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States will need a valid U.S. passport… and there are a few other things we want to remind you of and would be happy to talk with you more in-depth. Please review the following information and let us know if you have any questions.
Vaccinations: The country you’re traveling to may require proof of vaccinations. Without proper vaccinations, you may be denied entry in the country. We recommend visiting CDC Traveler Health Information at the website link provided below to find information on health notices and recommended/required vaccinations for the countries you’ll be visiting.
Visas: Some countries require visas to enter. Without a valid visa, you may be denied entry into the country. You can find out if you need a visa by visiting the embassy website of the country you’ll be traveling to or by visiting the US State Department International Travel Information at the website link provided below. And of course, you can always contact us with questions!
Children Traveling with One Parent, or Someone Who is Not a Parent/Legal Guardian, or Children Traveling in a Group: Foreign border officials may require custody documents or written consent from the other parent/both parents. While the requirements may vary by country. Please visit the US Customs and Border Protection website at the link provided below for an example of what the US requires.
