International Travel Tips

• For international travel, always carry extra copies of your passport and passport photo. This will prevent you from having to turn over your passport to customs officials for photocopying and also simplifies the visa application process.
• Make sure that your passport has not expired. Also, some countries require a specific minimum period of validity remaining on the passport, such as six months, to be admitted to the country.
• Check the U.S. State Department Travel Warnings before every international trip.
• Carry and international driver’s license. Non-English speaking law enforcement officials are more likely to recognize this document than a state driver’s license.
• Research the customs and business practices of the country where you will be staying.
