PASSPORT/VISA INFORMATION
Make sure that you have at
least 6 months validity on your
passport after your scheduled
return to the US. The United
States Department of State
strongly recommends that you
renew your passport when you
have 9 months of validity
remaining.
In addition to a passport, many
countries require a visa for
entry.
To obtain the most current entry
requirements for your upcoming
trip, please contact CIBTvisas at
www.cibtvisas.com/102588 or
call CIBT at 800-577-2428.
Be sure to reference CIBT Account

fees.
Know the Requirements for the destination to which you are traveling.
Some countries, like the Dominican Republic, charge an “entrance fee” just
to leave the airport! It’s important to use your travel specialists’ expertise
to make sure YOUR vacation is perfectly planned, with no surprises.
Plan ahead Of course this seems like common sense, but what about backups? Make sure you have worked out options with your personal travel
concierge in case the flights are more expensive than you anticipated (we
can’t stand high flight prices either!) Perhaps your dates of travel are
flexible, or you’re willing to try an all-inclusive resort – let your travel
concierge guide you towards a perfect vacation you may never have even
imagined!
Check your Documents – twice! When you get your confirmation
documents from your travel concierge, please check them – twice - for
accuracy and any other instructions from your hotel or resort. Many times
they have additional bits of information or an added coupon will be printed
there. Also, make sure your passports are up-to-date. Children’s passports
expire every 5 years and adults every 10. Passports close to expiring must
have at least six months validity AFTER your scheduled return home date!
Take Pictures of your vacation – that’s expected. But also take pictures of
your passport, your documents and other identifying information. You’ll
easily have an extra set at your disposal in case you need to prove your
identity.
Schedule your return trip on a Tuesday or Wednesday as they are the least
traveled compared to Thursday thru Monday. Granted, maybe it’s not as
easy to get that extra time off work, but trust me, IT IS WELL WORTH
THE FIGHT! You don’t want to return home from the most relaxing and
enjoyable time only to be traveling with EVERYONE ELSE returning from
somewhere…right??? Not to mention, they’re also the most cost-saving
flights…jus’ sayin’…
