Travel Tips for Students
Planning Your Trip Abroad
Heading off on a vacation in a distant land or starting a job teaching in Asia? While most international travels go smoothly, being well-prepared can help you avoid potential issues.
Essential Preparations
Passports and Visas: Government processes can be slow, so it’s crucial to apply early for your passport and any necessary visas. You'll need a passport for entry and exit in most countries, and some nations require visas for U.S. citizens, especially if you plan to study or work there. Always check entry requirements and ensure your visa is current to avoid any hitches.
Research Before Departure
Know the Destination: Use the internet to learn about the countries you plan to visit. Understanding local culture and any current issues is vital. The Department of State provides Background Notes on around 170 countries, offering insights into each nation’s culture, history, and political situation.
Consular Information: Check the embassy’s website for the Consular Information Sheet, which offers up-to-date travel details, including entry rules and safety conditions. Online forums can be useful, but verify the information independently.
Stay Informed
Travel Warnings and Alerts: Monitor news and updates online. Travel Warnings advise against visiting certain countries due to safety risks, while Public Announcements provide rapid information on short-term conditions. Remember, problems in one part of a country don’t reflect the safety of the entire region.
Registration and Safety
Register Your Trip: Take a few minutes to register your trip with the State Department at travel.state.gov. This ensures the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can reach you in case of an emergency. Family members can contact you through the Office of Overseas Citizens Services at 202-647-5225.
Resources and Cautions
Teaching and Studying Abroad: Consult your school for guidance if you plan to study or work overseas. Advisors often have valuable information on saving money and avoiding scams. Always research organizations thoroughly before committing.
Legal Awareness: Familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs of your destination, as reckless behavior can have serious consequences.
Planning and caution are your best tools for a safe and enjoyable trip. By preparing adequately, you can focus on experiencing the adventure and learning opportunities that travel brings.
