Depending on where you visit, you may need a passport and visa when traveling. Passports are legal documents granted by the federal government of a country. They confirm your identity and prove your citizenship. Without a passport, you cannot re-enter your country of citizenship after traveling internationally.
A visa is also an official document, but it’s granted by the country you plan on visiting. A visa gives you temporary permission to enter the country. It specifies the amount of time you have within the country and comes in the form of a sticker or stamp placed in your passport when you arrive at your destination.
Every other country requires that you have a passport if you are a visiting citizen from the United States or its territories. Many countries also require visas, but not all of them do. The majority of the Caribbean countries, as well as Mexico, Western Europe, and Canada do not require visas when you are staying for 3 months or less. Every country has different rules regarding visas, so check visa requirements before traveling internationally.
