Is your passport ready to go or has it been sitting in a drawer or a safe deposit box for a year just collecting dust? While you might not have had the chance to use it, the clock has still been ticking on your passport’s validity. With more and more people getting vaccinated every day, countries will start opening up and you’ll be eager to book a trip. Also, please note that many countries require your passport to be valid for over 6 months past your vacation end date in order to allow you to enter the country to which you are traveling.

Step one in your planning (aside from contacting me) is checking your passport. If it’s about to expire, you might need an expedited renewal. The State Department has a heavy backlog and new passports can take 12 weeks. Fortunately, there are ways to expedite the processing time to 4-6 weeks. Our trusted partners at CIBT Visas can help you take care of this process right now. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need assistance making sure you are ready for your next adventure.
