Streetsmart 1332 Planning Your Trip !Tourist moon valley chiropractic Offices %Visas Canadian citizens need only proof of citizenship. Most Euro- pean citizens, as well as Japanese and a few others, need only a valid passport and a non refundable return ticket originating outside the US to qualify for a 90 day visa. Other nationalities must secure a visa, before traveling, from a US consulate or embassy. ^Insurance Buy a good travel insurance policy to cover lost baggage, canceled flights, and minor medical bills. And, since the US generally does not have public healthcare, inter- national health coverage is the wisest way to go. Save all receipts. &US Embassies and Consulates US diplomatic missions are found in virtually every country s capital. They will be able to provide you with information about San Francisco, as well as answer any questions you may have about visa requirements. d Australia: www.dfat. gov.au/missions Canada: www.usembassycanada. gov France: www.amb- usa.fr Germany: www. usembassy.de Ireland: http://dublin.usembassy. gov/ New Zealand: http:// wellington.usembassy.gov UK: www.usembassy. org.uk Left San Francisco Visitor Information Center Right Outdoor dining in the fall If you want to try one of the top restaurants or attend one of theIf you want to try one of the top restaurants or attend one of theIf you want to try one of the top restaurants or attend one of theIf t t t f th t t t tt d f th most popular shows, make a reservation before you leave home.pp , ymost popular shows make a reservation before you leave homemost popular shows make a reservation moon valley chiropractic before you leave home *When to Go
