How to prepare for international travel 
Get a passport. 
You need at least two passport-size photos, your birth certificate, and one other form of identification that proves your citizenship in your country of origin. If you already have a passport, ensure that it has at least 6 months left before its expiration date.
Some countries will not issue a visa to you if your passport expires in less than 6 months. If you don't already have a passport, you'll need to allow 4-6 weeks for processing, so be sure to start this process ahead of time.
