General Passport
Requirements for
Americans Traveling Abroad

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.
IMPORTANT: THIS LISTING IS PREPARED FROM INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM FOREIGN EMBASSIES PRIOR
TO OCTOBER 2004. 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
U.S. passport is not required will need documentary evidence of their U.S. citizenship and
identity. Proof of U.S. citizenship includes an expired U.S. 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
unquestionably proves your U.S. citizenship.
Before you send your passport through the mail to apply for a visa, sign it in ink, and
write in pencil your current address and daytime telephone number in the space provided.
This will help the U.S. Postal Service return it to you should it become separated from
the envelope during processing.

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.
Some Middle Eastern or African countries will not issue visas or allow entry if your
passport indicates travel to Israel. Consult the National Passport Information Center,
telephone1-877-4USA-PPT (1-877-487-2778 or TDD/TTY: 1-888-874-7793) or http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/index.html
for guidance if this applies to you.
VISAS: If a visa is required, obtain it from the appropriate
foreign consular representative 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. 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. As
soon as you receive your visa, check it to make sure no mistakes were made. Processing and
visa fees vary, and most fees may not be refundable. For specific details, consult the
Embassy or Consulate of the country you plan to visit.
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.
ADDITIONAL FEES: 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 or upon exiting the foreign country.
