Entry/Exit Requirements
"All Americans traveling by air outside the United States are
required to present a passport or other valid travel document to
enter or re-enter the United States. This requirement will be extended
to sea travel (except closed loop cruises), including ferry service,
by the summer of 2009. Until then, U.S. citizens traveling by sea
must have government-issued photo identification and a document
showing their U.S. citizenship (for example, a birth certificate
or certificate of nationalization), or other WHTI
compliant document such as a passport card for entry or re-entry
to the U.S.
Minors
Mexican law requires that any non-Mexican citizen under the age
of 18 departing Netherlands Antilles must carry notarized written
permission from any parent or guardian not traveling with the child
to or from Netherlands Antilles. This permission must include the
name of the parent, the name of the child, the name of anyone traveling
with the child, and the notarized signature(s) of the absent parent(s).
The State Department recommends that the permission should include
travel dates, destinations, airlines and a brief summary of the
circumstances surrounding the travel. The child must be carrying
the original letter – not a facsimile or scanned copy –
as well as proof of the parent/child relationship (usually a birth
certificate or court document) – and an original custody decree,
if applicable. Travelers should contact the Mexican Embassy or closest
Mexican Consulate for current information.
The U.S. Consulate recommends traveling in the Netherlands Antilles
with a valid U.S. passport to avoid delays or misunderstandings.
A lost or stolen passport is also easier to replace when outside
the United States than other evidence of citizenship. Visitors to
the Netherlands Antilles may be asked to show onward/return tickets
or proof of sufficient funds for their stay. Length of stay is granted
for two weeks and may be extended for 90 days by the head office
of immigration. For further information, travelers may contact the
Royal Netherlands Embassy, 4200 Linnean Avenue, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 244-5300, or the Dutch Consulate in
Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Houston or Miami. Visit the web
site for the Embassy of the Netherlands at http://www.netherlands-embassy.org/homepage.asp
for the most current visa information." - US State Dept
