Due to increased security many travel requirements have changed or will be changing in the near future. For example, as of January 2007 if you planned to travel to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada by either air or sea you were required to have a passport. In January 2008, the passport requirement is extended to include all land border crossings as well as land and sea travel. Even though these changes are implemented in stages it can be difficult to understand and keep up with the changes.
If you have plans to visit some Middle Eastern or African countries you may want to double check their entry requirements. Many of these countries will not issue a Visa or allow entry if your passport indicates any travel to Israel. Many people are not aware that if US citizens travel to a country where a valid US Passport is not required they will still need documentary evidence of their citizenship and identity. Appropriate forms of identification may include an expired US Passport or an original birth certificate. A certified copy of the birth certificate may be acceptable, just be sure that it has the raised and embossed seal. Some countries require that your US Passport be valid at least six 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. Some countries have departure fees that are either paid at the time you purchase your ticket or when leaving the country. These are only a few examples of regulations and requirements that may be needed for travel. If you plan to travel you may want to get in touch with a company that specializes in obtaining documents that may be needed for traveling. This assures that you will have everything you need to make your trip a little more enjoyable.

You have to be so excited about finally getting to do the traveling you have been planning for what seems like years. Perhaps you are able to get away for an extended visit or maybe this is a retirement gift to yourself. Either way, you have been looking forward to go to Egypt for as long as you can remember.
You have already made all of your travel arrangements and the date is getting close, your coworkers have all wished you well and you think all that is left is the packing. Until someone asks you if it was difficult getting the required documents together and you say it was no problem that the travel agent handled everything. Then someone tells you that it is lucky for you because they almost had to cancel their trip, as they did not have the correct Visa's. You may start feeling a little concerned so the next day you call your travel agent and they assure you that everything is in order, that a Visa is not required only a passport. However, still a little worried you speak with your coworker about the Visa requirements and learn that there are a number of conditions that have to be met in order to be granted a Tourist Visa. For example, in order to visit Egypt you do need a valid US Passport but it also must have at least 3 months validity remaining with at least 3 blank visa pages. You also will need an additional passport size photo, your complete travel itinerary as well as consulate fees that vary depending on your passport holder status. There are other requirements as well, but how can you be sure that you have everything you need, now that the departure date is so close? This type of situation may be avoided if you will consider using the services of a company that specializes in obtaining documents for travel. You can be assured that they will be up to date on any and all documents that may be required no matter what country you are visiting. Let them worry about what certified copy needs to be where so that you can concentrate on the really important things, like how many extra suitcases do you think you will need to bring everything back home.
