The U.S. State Department is an incredibly valuable source of information for anyone
who is planning to travel and/or live abroad. One of the main objectives of the State
Department is to protect and assist U.S. citizens living or traveling abroad. The
State Department also strives to keep the American public informed of any important
issues developing around the world.
Their website contains a vast amount of information that will be helpful for students
and parents who have concerns about international travel. The website offers information
about travel advisories, tips for living abroad, U.S. foreign policy, ideas for American
students abroad, international doctors/hospitals, and more. In addition to passport/visa
information, you may also access Country Specific Information (previously: Consular Information Sheets) for every country in the world.
