Oman A passport with at least 6 months validity and an
Oman visa
are required for entry into the country. Torist visas can be obtained in advance via the
Royal Oman Police E-Visa website. Omani immigration officials at the port of entry
determine the length of stay in Oman, which varies according to the
purpose of travel. Alternatively, U.S. citizens may obtain
a 30-day visa by presenting their U.S. passports on arrival at all
Oman land, sea, and air entry points. Note: The validity period
of the applicant's passport should not be less than six months.
Adequate funds and proof of an onward/return ticket, though not
required, are strongly recommended. This visa can be extended
for an extra 30 days only; a completed extension application form. Other categories of short-term
visit/business/work contract visas are available, but these must be
arranged in advance through an Omani sponsor. To obtain a visa or
for details on entry and travel requirements, please contact the

travelers. Please note that American citizens who overstay their ETAs
or visas, even for short periods, may be subject to exclusion,
detention, and removal. More information about the ETA, other visas,

Paraguay A passport and
Paraguay visa
are required. U.S. citizens arriving by air may obtain a “Visa en
Arribo” (visa upon arrival) at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport
in Asuncion. The current fee is $160, payable in U.S. currency (credit
cards not accepted). If not arriving at Silvio Pettirossi
International Airport, visitors must submit completed visa applications
in person or by secure messenger to the Paraguayan Embassy or one of
the consulates and pay a fee. Paraguay issues visas for one-entry
or multiple entries up to the validity of the U.S. passport.
Applicants under 18 years of age traveling alone must appear with both
of their parents or a legal guardian. In case of a guardian, an
original and one copy of proof of legal guardianship are
required. A document of authorization from parents/guardian will
be accepted only if it is notarized and certified by the county
clerk. Travelers entering or departing Paraguay with regular U.S.
passports will be fingerprinted. Some airlines include the
Paraguayan airport departure tax in the price of the airline
ticket. It is recommended that you check with the airline in
order to determine whether or not the departure tax has been
included. If the tax is not included in the airline ticket then
payment would be required upon departure in either U.S. or local
currency (no credit cards or checks accepted). Visit the Embassy of
Paraguay web site at http://www.embaparusa.gov.py for the most current
visa information.
Peru
A passport valid for 6 months is required to enter and depart Peru. Tourists
must also provide evidence of return or onward travel. U.S.
citizens may enter Peru for short-term tourist or business-related
visits of up to 90 days; however, the actual period authorized is
determined by the Peruvian immigration officer at the time of entry
into Peru. After admission, travelers may apply to extend their
visa for an additional three months. Persons who remain beyond
their period of authorized stay without obtaining a visa extension or a
residence visa will have to pay a fine to depart Peru. Visitors
for other than tourist or short-term business visit purposes must
obtain a Peruvian visa in advance. Business workers (under contract)
should ascertain the tax and exit regulations that apply to the
specific visa they are granted. Peru does not require any
immunizations for entry, although it recommends vaccination against
Yellow Fever.
An
international flight airport fee, payable in U.S. or local currency and
assessed on a per-person basis, must be paid when departing Peru.
There are also separate airport taxes for domestic flights charged at
most domestic airports that must be paid before embarking. U.S.
citizens whose passports are lost or stolen in Peru must obtain a new
passport from the U.S. Embassy and present it, together with a police
report on the loss or theft, to the main immigration office in downtown
Lima, located at Prolongacion Espana 734, Brena, to obtain permission
to depart. An additional immigration office is located within
Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport international departure
terminal. For further information regarding entry requirements,
travelers should contact the
Peruvian Embassy at 1700 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036; telephone (202) 833-9860;

Philippines Entry Requirements
Poland
Poland
is a party to the Schengen agreement. As such, U.S. citizens may
enter Poland for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without
a visa. The passport should be valid for at least three months
(six months recommended) beyond the period of stay. For further
details about travel into and within Schengen countries, please see our
Schengen fact sheet.
Polish immigration officials may ask travelers for proof of
sufficient financial resources to cover their proposed stay in Poland,
generally viewed as 100 zloty per day. Additionally, citizens of
non-EU countries, including the United States, should carry proof of
adequate medical insurance in case of an accident or hospitalization
while in Poland. Polish immigration officials may ask for
documentation of such insurance or proof of sufficient financial
resources (at least 400 zloty per day) to cover such costs. Those
who lack insurance or access to adequate financial resources may be
denied admission to Poland. Medicare does not cover health costs
incurred while abroad.
Poland requires Polish citizens (including American citizens
who are or can be claimed as Polish citizens) to enter and depart
Poland using a Polish passport. Americans who are also Polish
citizens or who are unsure if they hold Polish citizenship should
contact the nearest Polish consular office for further information.
For further information on entry requirements, please contact the consular section of the
Embassy of the Republic of Poland
at 2224 Wyoming Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008, tel. (202) 234-3800, or the Polish consulates in Chicago, Los Angeles or New
York. Visit the
Embassy of Poland web site for the most current visa information.
Portugal
Portugal is a party to the Schengen agreement. As such, U.S.
citizens may enter Portugal for up to 90 days for tourist or business
purposes without a visa. The passport should be valid for at least
three months (six months recommended) beyond the period of
stay. For further details about travel into and within Schengen
countries, please see our fact sheet.
Portuguese
law requires some non-European Union foreign nationals to register with
immigration officials within three working days of entering
Portugal. The law affects those who transit another Schengen area
country by air en route to Portugal and stay at noncommercial
accommodations. If an American citizen would like to ensure that
his or her entry is properly documented, it may be necessary to request
a stamp at an official point of entry, or download a “declaracão de
entrada” from the Portuguese Immigration Service’s website, and submit
it to a local SEF office or police station within 3 days of entry.
Travelers without a stamp in their passport may be questioned about or
asked to document the length of their stay in Schengen countries. If
unable to do so, they could face possible fines.
Travelers may also contact the
Embassy of Portugal at 2012 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036,
tel. (202) 350-5400, or the Portuguese Consulates in Boston, MA; New
Bedford, MA; Providence, RI; New York, NY; Newark, NJ; San Francisco,
CA; or Los Angeles, CA. Visit the Embassy of Portugal’s
website
for the most current visa information.
