If you need a passport or your passport will be expiring soon, it's advisable to make arrangements early. Passport Centers are scattered throughout the States and most cities have at least one (1) Post Office that facilitates the passport acquisition/renewal process.
Click on the US Passort image to be linked to the US Department o State Consular service for more information on getting your new passport, renewing or current one.
Every country (including the United States) has a list of common illnesses that travelers are advised to seek vaccination for prior to traveling. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Preventions) generally has the most comprehensive list available, but your doctor/healthcare professional should be in the best position to advise. Click on the 'Doctor Image' to be linked to the CDC website.
If you have medical/health issues or allergic to certain foods or environmental settings, please inform us ahead of time so an alternative arrangement can be made to suit your needs.
Most countries have immigration policies that require a non-citizen to obtain a "Visa" before entering. The fees are generally small ($100 - $200) for multiple-entry or three-year visas in most cases. Each country (Republic or Kingdom) does have their own laws and we advise that based on the country you are visiting, you obtain your Visa at least one month ahead of the trip. We can help facilitate this process if you need. If you want to do-it-yourself or just call the local embassy to inquire about things of concern/interest, below is a list of all the embassies in Washington, DC as well as New York for the various countries.
