"I hope you learned a valuable lesson today!"
Hi Folks,
Check out this video I produced for the Bureau of Consular Affairs for U.S. State Department. Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, this two-minute video highlights the 6 months passport validity requirements that some countries stipulate for entry. Many travelers are unaware of this rule which can put a major wrinkle in their international trip. If they don't meet the required amount of validity on their passport to enter their destination country, they can be denied boarding on their flight, or in a worst case scenario, are not allowed into their destination country, and must return to the U.S. at the expense of both themselves and the airlines.
The video was recently publicized at a White House event for Travel Bloggers, and was retweeted by 23 of the participants. The video can currently be seen at the Main State Dept Youtube Page(see below), on http://travel.state.gov/... the Consular Affairs Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/.... and Twitter, https://twitter.com/....
