Travel Documents

U.S. citizens traveling to or from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas) do not require a passport. U.S. citizens require a valid visa for travel to Brazil, Bolivia, China, India and Russia. Visit the State Department website for more information on how to obtain a passport and/or visa.

Travel Tips
Look for current listings of State Department travel warnings. Check for Embassy or Consulate listings and locations. Confirm all visa and foreign entry requirements. Learn more about healthy travel and flying with children for travel into foreign countries.
