Since early 2016, the U.S. Department of State no longer adds visa pages into U.S. passports. Previously, U.S. passport holders had the option to pay for an additional 24-page visa inserts when valid passports lacked adequate space for entry or exit visa stamps. Applicants in need of additional pages in their valid passports must obtain a new passport. To mitigate the impact on frequent travelers, the Department began issuing 52-page passports to all applicants outside the United States starting October 1, 2014 for no additional cost. Applicants within the United States may choose a 28-page or 52-page book. For more information on applying for a passport (new passport or renewal), please refer to the Department of State website for instructions, required documents and forms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6062479fd6699a4ea2c882ec/1617915870708-LHRSN02F7OM2R90I3JOY/unsplash-image-BAIrTR0ZkUM.jpg Passports & Visas - Visas For U.S. citizens, PVS maintains a database by country of visa requirements and application forms for business or leisure travel.
