Travel Document

A travel document is a government-issued document that allows an individual to travel internationally. There are different types of travel documents, each with its own requirements and restrictions.

Passport: A passport is the most common travel document and is issued by a country’s government to its citizens. It serves as proof of identity and nationality and allows the holder to travel internationally.

Visa: A visa is a travel document that is usually affixed to a passport and grants the holder permission to enter a specific country for a specified period and purpose.

Re-entry permit: A re-entry permit is a travel document issued by the United States government to a lawful permanent resident (LPR) who intends to travel outside the U.S. for an extended period of time but plans to return. It allows an LPR to maintain their status as a permanent resident while abroad.

Refugee Travel Document: A Refugee Travel Document (RTD) is a travel document issued to refugees who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country. It allows refugees to travel outside of the country that granted them asylum and return without requiring a visa from that country.

It is important to note that each country has its own requirements for entry, and individuals should research the specific travel document requirements for their destination before planning travel.
