General Passport
Requirements for A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M The following information 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 generally
means that you will need to submit passport-size (2"x2") photographs.
Some countries require that your U.S. passport be valid at least 6 months or longer 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 that you plan to visit for their requirements. Select a
letter for the country about which you would like information on Passport & Visa
Requirements. IMMUNIZATIONS: Under the International Health Regulations adopted by the World Health Organization, a country may require International Certificates of Vaccination against yellow fever, especially if you are traveling from an area of the world that is infected with yellow fever. 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 may be obtained from your local healthcare provider or by contacting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, telephone 1-877- 394-8747 or Internet: www.cdc.gov.
AIDS/HIV TESTING: 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 that you
plan to visit to verify if this is a requirement for entry.
