March 20, Passport 护(hù)照(zhào), Visa 签(qiān)证(zhèng)and more

 
Traveling abroad is an exciting adventure, but having all your documents in place prior to your trip is an absolute must.


Passport护(hù)照(zhào):A passport is required for all air travel overseas, both for entry into the foreign country and for re-entry into the U.S.

Visa签(qiān)证(zhèng):A travel visa is required for most countries, but not all countries require them in advance. Traveling to China requires a visa. Chinese Consulate 芝(zhī)加(jiā)哥(gē) 领(lǐng)事(shì)馆(guǎn)in Chicago can provide visa service.

Money 钱(qián): RenMinBi 人民(mín)币(bì) is used in China. The exchange rate between US dollars and RenMinBi is 1 to 6.14 as today.
The following converter gives you daily rate between different currencies.

Question for today:
What else do you think I may need for my trip?
