Travel Visa Requirements

Embarking on our world tour in the near future brought up the question of visa requirements for the different places we may be traveling to.  Matt found a great reference via Wikipedia that may be helpful if you decide to embark on your own journey. 

One location noted "Immigration offenses, such as visa overstaying, are punishable by caning."  Yowsa!  You can believe we will be following the rules in this country.

Please note - The Philippines requires a return ticket to the United States or to another country (as we luckily read online before we arrived).  We created an updated entry in Wikipedia for this.

We believe we found even a better site for Visa requirements while having to do more digging on what's necessary to keep us from being slowed down during our travels.  Try - http://www.visahq.com/.
