Important Notes:

• You must have a passport for all of the trips outlined above.  If you have issues in getting a passport, please contact the Missions Office. To apply for a passport, go to travel.state.gov/passport and follow the instructions for new applicants or to renew your passport.
• Uganda Only - The Uganda government requires that you present evidence of yellow fever vaccination prior to admittance and also that your passport not expire for 6 months after your entry date. This means your current passport must be valid through May 2014. If it expires before then, you must file for a renewal this spring.
