International Travel Issues

[Roman]

Well, I figured as this applies to various situations, it might be good to start a thread for it.

Passport: Just so you know, I applied for a new passport (not an original), sent the stuff in with the option for expedited service and the fastest mailing option there and back.
I sent my documents including my original passport on the 18th and got it back about noon on the 29th of Dec. I'm in California. It may have taken a bit longer than sending from some places. I think the envelope coming back was stamped on the 27th. So other than possibly a day earlier, I think that's the fastest service you can expect unless you have some other special way of getting a passport. You will need a passport for Mexico as I understand it.

Money: You will need money to do anything... or buy anything.

hey roman any idea how long it takes w/o expediting it? i have been so lazy about getting my passport since this summer i think i will have to expedite it if i want to have any chance of going down there if lili comes.

travel.state.gov says it takes 4-6 weeks to be processed from receipt, so I'd say around 2 months. I need to go ahead and get around to getting mine, as well.

You'll most likely need a passport for any form of travel to/from Mexico.

I got my passport in about 6 weeks non-express. I was very impressed in how fast it came. They told me it would take 4 to 6 month with the non-express and I got it in one in a half months. :-)

well looks like we're gonna have to expedite it if lili comes to mexico in February. but then i'm not sure that visit is a concert, i think it's just a promo and small showcase perhaps and i don't know if an actual concert is planned for the future down there.

Europe is light years ahead of the rest of the world. Such a shame i was not born there.

Isn't it funny how people in the USA who celebrated when the Berlin Wall came down, are now advocating building new walls?
