1. CHECK YOURPASSPORT EXPIRATIONVirtually every country that has visa requirements will want you to have a significant amount of remaining validity on your passport. So, if you’re headed to, say, Vietnam or India, it’s often a requirement that your passport be valid for six months beyond the date you leave (not enter!) your destination of choice. Without it, you could be denied your visa, and therefore, entry into the country. Renewing your passport when it’s down to 9-12 months of remaining validity is a good idea.
You’ve bought a ticket, booked a hotel and dug your passport out of the drawer. Think you’re all set to head to the airport? Not so fast. Depending
on your international destination, you might need one all-important document to get past immigration: a visa. Nearly 90 countries require U.S. citizens to have a visa, so if you’ve got the urge to go globetrotting, it’s important to be familiar with visa. There are almost infinite details, but you can get started with the basics.
The most important thing to remember about visas is that, while they can be complicated – and honestly, a bit of a headache – there’s no shortage of help available. If the process is a bit too intimidating to take on alone, travel agents provide assistance, and tour companies often make the arrangements as part of the package you buy.

2. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EMBASSY AND A CONSULATE?Though the terms are often used interchangeably, they aren’t quite the same thing. An embassy is the bigger, permanent diplomatic mission, generally located in a country’s capital. A consulate is essentially a satellite office, located in other major cities. For example, Brazil’s embassy in the United States is located in Washington, D.C., but there are Brazilian consulates in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Hartford, Houston, L.A., Miami, New York and San Francisco.
When you need the details of how to get a visa, you should first check the embassy or consulate website of the country you plan to visit (or go to the office, if you’re near one) and go through the listed requirements with a fine-tooth comb. However, if the information you find there is confusing (and it sometimes is!), the U.S. State Department’s travel website, www.state.gov/travel can often provide some clarity.
3. PRE-ARRANGED VISASVisa applications are as different as snowflakes, so don’t expect that after you’ve done one for one country, it’ll be the same for another. Many countries require that you apply for a visa in advance; as a traveler, that means you need to do some planning ahead of time. In some cases, to get a visa in advance, you need to show proof of transportation into and out of the country (such as airline ticket bookings) and other bookings (hotels, etc.). There is almost always a fee associated with the application process, but it varies by country and the nationality of the applicant.
4. VISAS ON ARRIVALVisas on arrival (often abbreviated to VOA) allow for a little more spontaneity; generally, you fill out the forms and are issued the visa at your point of entry. Fees generally apply, and range from nominal ($10 in the Dominican Republic) to significant ($100 in Tanzania and Bangladesh). Again, there can be variation based on the applicant’s nationality.
5. SINGLE-ENTRY, MULTIPLE-ENTRY AND TRANSIT VISAS – WHICH ONE IS RIGHT?It all depends on whether you want to stay put, bop around a region or just pass through. Say you’re going to China. If your plan is 10 days in Beijing with a side trip to Shanghai, you only need a single entry. If you want to go to the country’s southwestern provinces and maybe take a jaunt to Hanoi, Vietnam, before heading back into China, you’ll need multiple entries because you’re entering the country twice. And if you have a long layover in Guangzhou (or anywhere else in China), you can take advantage of the 72-hour transit visa. Of course, that’s just one country as an example – requirements and details for each type of visa vary widely, so read that consular fine print.
6. LETTERS OF INVITATIONThough it’s relatively rare, some countries require a letter of invitation (LOI) in order to issue a visa. That means that you, as the traveler, need an official letter from a citizen of the country inviting you to stay. Russia is one example where an invitation (in this particular case, called a tourist voucher and confirmation) is necessary. It’s generally a good idea to call in some professional help in this case; visa agencies and travel agents should know the ropes and be able to provide assistance.

10 POST UPTOWN DALLAS / DECEMBER 2013
A fictional film set in the alluring world of
one of the most stunning scandals to rock
our nation, American Hustle tells the story of
brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian
Bale), who along with his equally cunning
and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser
(Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild
FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper).
DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey
powerbrokers and mafia that’s as dangerous
as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey
political operator caught between the con-artists and feds. Irving’s unpredictable wife
Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world
crashing down. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, American Hustle defies genre, hinging
on raw emotion, and life and death stakes. © Sony
A M E R I C A N H U S T L E
The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit,
by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug continues the adventure of the

McKellan) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic
quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. © WB
