- FOREIGN ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
-
- This listing is for U.S. citizens traveling on tourism/business
and does not
- apply to persons planning to emigrate to foreign countries.
Persons traveling
- on official business for the U.S. Government should obtain visa
information
- from the agency sponsoring their travel. For purposes of this
publication, a
- visa is an endorsement or stamp placed by officials of a foreign
country on a
- U.S. passport that allows the bearer to visit that foreign
country. Note:
- Wherever you see the words "photo(s) required" in this
publication it means
- that you will need to submit passport-size photographs.
- IMPORTANT: THIS LISTING IS PREPARED FROM INFORMATION OBTAINED
FROM FOREIGN
- EMBASSIES PRIOR TO MARCH 1995. THIS INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO
CHANGE. CHECK
- ENTRY REQUIREMENTS WITH THE CONSULAR OFFICIALS OF THE COUNTRIES
TO BE VISITED
- WELL IN ADVANCE.
- PASSPORTS: U.S. citizens who travel to a country where a valid
passport is
- not required will need documentary evidence of their U.S.
citizenship and
- identity. Proof of U.S. citizenship includes an expired
passport, a certified
- (original) birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization,
Certificate of
- Citizenship, or Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the
United States. To
- prove identity, a valid driver's license or government
identification card are
- acceptable provided they identify you by physical description or
photograph.
- However, for travel overseas and to facilitate reentry into the
U.S., a valid
- U.S. passport is the best documentation available and it
unquestionably proves
- your U.S. citizenship.
- Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six
months
- beyond the dates of your trip. If your passport expires before
the required
- validity, you will have to apply for a new one. Please check
with the embassy
- or nearest consulate of the country you plan to visit for their
requirements.
- Some Arab or African countries will not issue visas or allow
entry if your
- passport indicates travel to Israel or South Africa. Consult the
nearest U.S.
- passport agency for guidance if this applies to you.
- VISAS SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE PROCEEDING ABROAD. Allow
sufficient time for
- processing your visa application, especially if you are applying
by mail.
- Most foreign consular representatives are located in principal
cities, and in
- many instances, a traveler may be required to obtain visas from
the consular
- office in the area of his/her residence. The addresses of
foreign consular
- offices in the United States may be obtained by consulting the
Congressional
- Directory in the library. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
TRAVELER TO OBTAIN
- VISAS, WHERE REQUIRED, FROM THE APPROPRIATE EMBASSY OR NEAREST
CONSULATE OF
- THE COUNTRY YOU ARE PLANNING TO VISIT.
- IMMUNIZATIONS: Under the International Health Regulations
adopted by the
- World Health Organization, a country may require International
Certificates of
- Vaccination against yellow fever. A cholera immunization may be
required if
- you are traveling from an infected area. Check with health care
providers or
- your records to ensure other immunizations (e.g. tetanus and
polio) are
- up-to-date. Prophylactic medication for malaria and certain
other preventive
- measures are advisable for travel to some countries. No
immunizations are
- required to return to the United States. Detailed health
information is
- included in Health Information for International Travel,
available from the
- U.S. Government Printing Office (address on page 20) for $7 or
may be obtained
- from your local health department or physician or by calling the
Centers for
- Disease Control on 404/332-4559.
- An increasing number of countries have established regulations
regarding AIDS
- testing, particularly for long-term visitors. Although many are
listed here,
- check with the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to
visit to verify
- if this is a requirement for entry.
- All international flights are subject to U.S. Immigration and
U.S. Customs
- fees paid in advance as part of your ticket. In addition, many
countries have
- departure fees that are sometimes collected at the time of
ticket purchase.
