If you are travelling internationally, you may need travel documents such as a passport, travel visa, ETA, or ESTA. If you don't have the right documents, many countries will deny you entry. To help you avoid rush-order fees, we recommend you secure your travel documents well in advance of your trip.
Passports
A passport is a government-issued ID in the form of a passbook (valid for all international travel).
Visas
A travel visa grants travellers the right to enter and depart a specific country. You may need a visa for each individual port or connection on your itinerary, so check in advance.
United States Travel Ban
Due to regulations in the United States Executive Order entry ban, citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, and Venezuela may not be issued travel visas to enter the United States.
ESTA
If you wish to enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, you must apply for authorization to travel using ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). You should apply at least 72 hours before departure. You can apply online and get details at US Department of Homeland Security.
ETA
ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) is a required document for non-citizens to travel to Australia and for visa-exempt non-citizens to travel to Canada. After approval it is associated with your passport, so you do not need to carry extra documentation. You can find applications and details at Australia Electronic Travel Authority or Canada Electronic Travel Authorization.
Travelling with minors
Children under 18 travelling without both parents may need to provide notarized documentation and letters of permission. Travellers/Parents should confirm with the embassy or consulate of the country to which they are travelling.
Minors travelling to South Africa
South Africa requires all minors to provide birth certificates in addition to passports for international travel. Please review South Africa's regulations for travelling with children for more detailed information.
