Tips on Following WHTI Rules in Travel

When traveling abroad there are many factors to look at, so as you begin to plan that Aussie holiday and make arrangements for TNQ accommodations, be sure to learn the laws that affect international travel as well as what documents will be required of you as you begin to plan your trip. This will help ensure the most successful holiday with minimal stress and you can get all the documentation to get through some of the new red tape that the government has put in place.

Due to issues of terrorism and the changes in the United States Intelligence agencies some of the rules of international travel have tightened and as a result there is a new travel initiative in place regulating those who enter and leave the United States. This is information that you need to know before you depart for an overseas destination.

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires all travelers to present a passport or other documentation proving their identity and their legal citizenship before entering the United States. The following are documents that serve as legitimate proof of residency: United States Issued Passport, Nexus, Sentri, or Fast Traveler Cards, Enhanced, State Issued Driver’s License, Tribal Card, Military ID or Military Travel Orders, Native American Tribal ID card or form I-872

Now these are the documents necessary as of 2008 to enter the United States or re-enter after travel, however other countries may require additional documentation to enter their country, especially those countries included in the WHTI like Mexico and Canada. Be sure to know what documentation is required of you whenever you are traveling.

Some countries are much simpler and U.S. friendlier and you will find that traveling to TNQ or other destinations in Australia for instance are much simpler than traveling to the Middle Eastern countries is, but it is still a good idea to understand how WHTI can affect you when leaving and returning to the United States.
