Many People plan to journey overseas this summer season — so long as they will get their passports renewed in time.
Surging demand for worldwide journey has helped gasoline a US passport backlog of as much as 13 weeks, and the wait might get even worse within the coming months. However for the last-minute jet-setters, that does not imply you are caught spending summer season trip at residence.
United States residents can journey to a number of US territories past the 50 states and not using a passport, together with the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands, in keeping with the US authorities.
That is not the case for different US territories and freely related states equivalent to American Samoa, Guam (selected a case-by-case foundation), The Federated States of Micronesia, The Republic of the Marshall Islands, and The Republic of Palau.
