Passport Information

At this point we need to all check that our Passports are current. They must be valid for at least six months after our exit date from Israel. That means that the Passport expiry date cannot be before September 4, 2009. Any passport expiry date after this date is a valid passport. We need to get photocopies of the passport face page to Lois Barbour ASAP. If you have not already done so, Please fax them to her at 709-753-9952. Lois, will need these to correctly issue your Flight Itinerary’s as your name must appear on your flight ticket as it does on you passport, they must match. As well, we will have to forward the correct names of visiting Pilgrims to the Israel authorities for pre-access clearing into Israel. I also recommend that you make a few extra photocopies of your passport face page. Pack one photocopy in your checked luggage and pack the other in your carry on bag in case you loose or have your passport stolen. Be sure to pack all valuable documents/money into a zip-lock plastic bag to protect them from water and liquids that may be in your carry-on and checked luggage. It will make replacing your passport in a foreign country much easier. Shalom Shalom.
