FAQ: Can I renew my passport or passport card if it is still valid? Yes. If you want to renew both a valid passport book and passport card, you must submit both documents. For example, if you can submit a passport book, but you lost your passport card, you cannot renew the passport card. If you want to renew either a valid book or a card, you must submit the specific document you want to renew. It is recommended to renewing your passport well ahead of any planned international travel, even if it still has a few months validity left on it. Some countries require that your passport be valid at least 6 months beyond the dates of your trip.

Who knew about #checkyourpassportday? Anyway it's very important as so many are getting caught out. Thanks Lee Taylor for pointing it out. Did you also know that about 400,000 #passports get lost every year in the UK. It goes without saying that such an occurence is an emergency for those who lose it - and very often these are younger people and students who need it for their ID etc. It is also a costly experience - not just in monetary terms but in time and administration. We provide a #coding system on labels which means if someone picks up your passport they can contact 3 people by text to say they've found it. And you can be reunited. Emergency over. With the holiday season coming up, why not code your passports? By using a code you keep your personal details private. And you can label all your other items with teh same code - phones, keys, luggage. Lastly just add the code to wristbands and pop them on a childs wrist. If they wander off, they can use the code to get reunited. Another emergency solved. They work 24/7 in over 130 languages. 🌍 🌐 We sell #D2C and are also looking for retail partnerships with the likes of Post Office Ltd where people can pick up a pack when buying their stamps - or indeed their holiday insurance or cash :) Boots UK Superdrug Sainsbury's WHSmith

Goodbye passport stamps, hello digital checks! Traveling to Europe soon? How you enter and exit most of Europe and the Schengen Area countries is changing. effective Nov. 10th, 2024. Then a digital system called the Entry/Exit System (EES) will go live, affecting Americans and other non-EU residents. How it will work: Upon arrival at a border you will scan your passport at self-service kiosks which collect information like names, travel document details, fingerprints, and facial images. That's it for 3 years (earlier if you renew your passport). There is nothing else for you to do, just be prepared for a bit more time upon arrival and departure as travelers get used to the EES system. This is in addition to the long-awaited ETIAS process which is expected to start in time for summer travel in 2025, but more on that closer in.

When applying for a visa, one of the most common mistakes is not having all the required documents. Make sure to read the checklist provided by the embassy or consulate. Missing even one document can delay your application or lead to a rejection. It's also important to ensure that all your documents are up-to-date. Expired documents, like passports or identification cards, will not be accepted. Avoid These Common Visa Application Mistakes (toureuphoria.com)

If you don’t know what the APEC Card is, you’re missing out. 99% of travelers in Asia queue in standard immigration lanes—sometimes for hours on end. 😩 However, saavy business travelers with an APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) queue up at the exclusive (and frequently empty) APEC lane—right next to the diplomats lane. 🎩 Breezing through in minutes. As an American ABTC holder, I’ve saved 50+ hours standing in lines by using APEC expedited lanes. It’s been a total game-changer. Here’s a quick breakdown of the ABTC: 1/ ABTC is for business travelers 💼 ABTC was created to enable easier travel for business people around Asia Pacific and Latin America. 2/ ABTC gives you several benefits as a holder ⚡ - Visa-free travel for 19 member countries (yes, you can save $$$) - Multiple short-term entries; stay for up to 90 days - Designated express lane at immigration (my personal favorite) - Valid for up to 5 years 3/ You can apply for the ABTC affordably 💸 Most ABTC holders I know are normal professionals. Each participating country has their own ABTC application requirements. They all require citizenship. Most ABTC application processes cost under $200. *** What’s your favorite business travel hack?
