Are You Ready To Travel?
Before you embark on your journey, make sure you're fully prepared. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates, and verify whether a visa is required for your destination. Be aware of current travel restrictions, as countries may have specific entry requirements, including health and safety protocols. For domestic U.S. travel, a REAL ID will soon be required for airport security checkpoints—check if your state-issued ID is compliant. Stay informed and avoid delays by reviewing all passport, visa, and travel information well in advance of your trip.
