Before traveling to a foreign country, we can provide valuable pre-trip planning information. The traveler can obtain up-to-date consular information, find out the latest regional medical conditions and any required, recommended or suggested immunizations based upon governmental entry requirements, medical concerns and specific travel itineraries. We can also provide a briefing on crime conditions and general security concerns. Through pre-trip preparations, many problems can be avoided before they have a chance to develop.

We believe that your upcoming trip is a significant investment which you should protect. We strongly recommends that travelers obtain Travel Guard insurance as it protects you from sudden and unexpected conditions or events, which may result in losses due to trip cancellation or interruption. View our section on Health to find out more about travel guard, the costs and the coverage.

This information is for U.S. citizens traveling on tourism/business and does not apply to persons planning to emigrate to foreign countries.

IMPORTANT: CHECK ENTRY REQUIREMENTS WITH THE CONSULAR OFFICIALS OF THE COUNTRIES TO BE VISITED WELL IN ADVANCE.
