In most cases, domestic health insurance does not cover medical expenses outside your home country. Travel protection policies often include international medical coverage and emergency assistance, offering important protection while traveling abroad.
A valid passport is required for all international travel. For trips within the United States or its territories, a passport may not be necessary. We confirm documentation requirements early in the planning process so you can prepare without uncertainty.
Many countries require passports to remain valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Entry requirements vary by destination, and we verify the most current regulations well in advance of travel.
