So many rules and regulations related to international travel have changed since Sept. 11, 2001, it’s difficult for a normal citizen to keep up.
For example, in Jan. 23, new legislation requires adults who enter the country by plane, including Americans, must now have a secure, fraud-resistant travel document. (Children 15-and-under are exempt from this rule when re-entering the U.S. by land or sea. They may present either a passport or a certified copy of their birth certificate.) Because the restrictions are so stringent, a passport is nearly the only document that meets the legislation’s criteria.
As of Jan. 1, 2008, this regulation also will apply to land and sea entries.

Just watch out for right firm and services.

Money is so scarce nowadays for people to just fall in the hand of the so call 419, So be aware thanks.
