quick question on passports
i've done a fair share of internet research on this and im getting a mixed answer:
I'm going to St. Thomas at the end of June. I dont have a passport. I do have intentions of getting one. But, I dont want to have to pay for an expedite fee if i don't necessarily have to.
I imagine the travel.gov site would be most accurate - they say no, because St. Thomas is a US Territory. Makes sense to me. But I just called a passport agency and theyre like "YES YOU NEED A PASSPORT FOR ANYWHERE OUTSIDE THE CONTIGUOUS 48!!!!"
Maybe I pissed the wrong person off on the phone... anyway, i dont want any drama at the airport. but if the travel.gov site blatantly says "you dont need it to travel to u.s. territories" that's valid right? with 7 weeks left before i leave i'd HAVE to pay extra to get it sent to me ASAP. and i dont have it like that.
