Before you travel
If you plan to take a trip or spend a semester overseas, look up @travelgov’s country-specific information for your destination at travel.state.gov/destination. You can check the travel advisory level, find passport and visa requirements, learn about banned items, and save the contact info for the nearest U.S. embassy all in one place.
Specific information from the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Spain and Andorra can be found at es.usembassy.gov.
Stay alert
U.S. citizens are common pickpocket targets when traveling overseas. Avoid hanging your bags on the back of chairs or setting your phone out on tables in public. Keep an especially close eye on your belongings in train stations and public squares.
If your U.S. passport is lost or stolen while you’re abroad, we can help! es.usembassy.gov/passports/
