What this means
A small number of passport–destination combinations are effectively closed: the destination either refuses admission or requires special government authorization that ordinary travelers cannot obtain. Exceptions sometimes exist for dual nationals, holders of second passports, special permits, or travelers with specific endorsements.
If you need to make this trip, contact the destination's embassy or a consulate directly, and do so well before making any plans. Rules in this category change with the political situation, in both directions.
Before you travel
- Passport validity: many countries require your passport to be valid 3–6 months beyond your stay, with at least one blank page.
- These rules cover short tourist/business visits on an ordinary passport. Work, study, residence, journalism, and diplomatic travel follow different rules.
- Connecting through another country? Check that country's transit rules separately.
