With all of the new laws and regulations being implemented there are times that the lesser issues may get overlooked or forgotten. Sometimes a refresher course might be in order.
For instance, do you remember one year ago new passport requirements went into effect if traveling to Mexico and many other places? The first stage was if you were traveling to Mexico, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama and Canada by air or sea you were required to have a passport. The 2nd part of that law went into effect on 1/1/08, meaning the passport requirement was extended to include the land border crossings as well. However, there are still other requirements that have been in effect but often get over-looked until it happens to you. If you are thinking about traveling over the border into Mexico you now need a passport and depending on the vehicle that is used to cross the border there may be additional requirements. If the vehicle you are taking has a lien holder you may need permission from the financial institution to take the vehicle over the border. Most lien holders require you to purchase Mexican insurance and you must have a letter from them giving you authorization to cross the border. Of course knowing the laws could very well be a benefit in other ways. If you travel frequently between the US and Canada, you may not need a passport if you qualify for the NEXUS program. Basically it is an opportunity for low risk, pre-screened travelers to be processed with little or no delay at the border and you need only to present the NEXUS photo id card. Of course background checks are required along with other regulations. The point is that if you are planning any type of travel or if you frequently travel between 2 countries you may want to speak with a company that specializes in obtaining the correct travel documents and perhaps your future travel will be a little easier.

The holidays are pretty much over and your life is starting to slow down again. Or hopefully it has at least stopped that feeling of flying headlong into all of the Christmas chaos.
You made it through all the relatives' different schedules, visiting and everything else that goes along with family and the holidays. But, you have to admit you did learn a thing or two this year. Everyone was so excited to visit you and your family in your new home in Canada. The kids were extra excited because there was snow and they really don't get too much snow back home. But, your sister looked simply exhausted and you really didn't want to pry, but were afraid things weren't going to well for her. So, when the kids were out skating and the guys were watching football you had a chance to really talk with her. And, yes, it was a relief to learn that everything was ok, she was just so worn out and tired. Getting everything together for this trip was actually harder than she thought it would be. With so many new laws and regulations for traveling she had a hard time getting everything together. She had never even considered the fact it may be difficult getting into Canada without certain documents, it had never been a problem before. After all of the excitement and everyone was back home you may have started thinking about your sister and the traveling problems she ran into. So, you have decided that you do not want that to happen to you, but how do you avoid it? What can you do? To start with you may want to get in touch with a company that specializes in obtaining proper traveling documents. Since there are so many new laws it can be difficult for you to keep up with them. Whereas a company such as this is always on top of the laws and requirements for all areas. This reduces your chances of having a really hectic time traveling, or at least the paperwork involved. The rest of the chaos (families, etc.) just comes with the territory. Labels: canada, canadian travel, passport, passport applications, passport services, passports, visa @: TexasTower.net 0 Comments
