State Department- Visas

Before visiting a foreign country, you should ensure that all your travel concerns are addressed. The State Department can help answer questions about traveling abroad. Here are a few of the most common questions my office receives that deal with this agency:

• I will be traveling to the Middle East next month. How can I find out if it is safe for me to go?
• I will traveling abroad this summer with my family. Will we need certain vaccinations?
  
• I will be traveling to several countries this summer.  I've got a passport, but are there any other entry requirements?
