your air itinerary with you on the trip. (We will provide one in your Final Documents booklet.)

IMPORTANT: If you have personalized your trip—for example, if you will be flying over
early, even by a day—then you probably will need a Chinese visa after all. Call our recommend

Traveling Without a U.S. Passport?
If you are not a U.S. citizen, or if your passport is from any country other than the U.S., it is
your responsibility to check with your local consulate, embassy, or a visa services company
about visa requirements. We recommend the services of PVS International, a national visa
service located in Washington D.C.; they can be reached at 1-800-556-9990 or www.
pvsinternational.org.

Traveling With a Minor?
Some governments may require certain documentation for minors to enter and depart the
country or to obtain a visa (if applicable). For further detail on the required documentation,
please contact your local embassy or consulate.

Trusted Traveler Programs

Some travelers have found that Trusted Traveler programs can expedite long waits at customs
when re entering the U.S. There are currently three programs available: Global Entry, NEXUS,
and SENTRI. These three programs also include TSA Pre-Check, which allows you to use a
dedicated security line at participating airports, or you can apply solely for TSA Pre-Check.

To apply for a Trusted Traveler program or TSA Pre-Check, typically you will be asked to pay
an application fee (varies by program) and schedule a background check and/or an interview.
If you are approved, you will be issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Your KTN is valid for
a set number of years, based on the conditions of the program. Please see the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection website for more details on each of these programs: www.cbp.gov/

at www.tsa.gov/precheck.

If you are enrolled in TSA Pre-Check (or a Trusted Traveler program that includes it), you
must provide your KTN to the airlines.
