Important Travel Notices

Practical advice when traveling:

As you prepare to travel, please follow the CDC recommendations for health precautions.  Practice good hygiene, cover your cough, avoid contact with symptomatic people, stay home if you are ill, and use a disinfecting wipe to clean hard surfaces while traveling. When traveling internationally, we encourage you to enroll in the STEP program. The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service that allow U.S. citizens and nationals traveling and living abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. As an enrolled traveler, you can receive important information from the Embassy about safety conditions in a destination country, help the U.S. Embassy contact you in an emergency, and help family and friends get in touch with you in an emergency.

Travel warnings and advisories:

Foreign national air travelers to the United States may be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to fly to the United States, with only limited exceptions.

For more guidance on the CDC’s new rule, visit this page on their website.

Both the U.S. State Department and governments and official tourism bureaus of destinations are great resources. They will give you up-to-date travel advisories as well as any information about the spread of coronavirus in their countries.

Making the decision to travel:

Many of our clients are continuing with their current travel plans or adopting a “wait and see” approach for future trips. We are happy to talk through any concerns you may have so you can make the best decision for you and your family.

Preparing your REAL ID:

The REAL ID is a form of identification accepted by the Federal either through a driver' license or identification card. By May7, 2025, only REAL IDs shall be accepted for domestic flights and federal facility access. Standard IDs will no longer be accepted for these purposes.
