Foreign Entry Requirements

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
