Passports & VISAS

October 12, 2020

Passports are required to travel anywhere around the world. it is your international ID. If you do not have a passport, you can get a passport by applying online. We strongly recommend that you apply for a passport 6 months in advance before your planned vacation. Processing time could be between 4-8 week, but depending on the time of year, they could be delayed. If you're in a hurry, ordering rush delivery for your passport is an option, but it comes with a hefty price tag. If you are over the age of 16, a passport is valid for 10 years.
