Spring Break Travel Tips

FSU students and staff are gearing up for Spring Break travel. Here are a few helpful tips from the U.S. Department of State for ensuring a safe, fun trip.

• Ensure you have your required documents: passport; a second form of photo I.D.; and if you are an international student or exchange visitor, a valid visa to reenter the U.S and a valid travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019. 
• Read up on your destination at travel.state.gov to learn about local laws and customs.
• Check your health insurance policy to find out if you are covered when traveling to your destination. If not, consider purchasing supplemental insurance for emergencies.
• Carry contact details for the nearest embassy or consulate in your language and the local language.
• If you are a U.S. citizen or national, you can sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at step.state.gov to receive travel and emergency updates.
