About TravelDocsGuide
The paperwork of travel, one document at a time.
TravelDocsGuide explains the documents international travel runs on: what a visa application file needs, the rules your passport has to meet, and the forms and authorizations you show at the airport and the border.
Topics
- Visa application documents: The papers a visa file needs, with templates for every letter: invitation, sponsorship, cover and employer letters.
- Passports and ID: Validity rules, photo specs, Real ID and the passport questions that stop people at check-in.
- Entry documents: ESTA, the UK ETA, ETIAS, arrival cards, customs forms and proof of onward travel: what you show on arrival.
The site has 26 guides; every guide is listed by topic.
Sources
Requirements come from the authorities that set them: the EU Visa Code and consulate checklists, gov.uk, travel.state.gov, TSA and CBP, and the official sites of each travel authorization. Guides link those sources where they use them and show when they were last updated.
