iNext Travel Card 
As many of you know, CIEE recently began offering the iNext travel and insurance card. The iNext card offers students a host of insurance coverage, from accident, sickness, and hospital to baggage and document. A 24-hour hotline provides students assistance with emergency and everyday needs, such as medical and travel questions or concerns. Please visit www.inext.com to learn more. If you have specific questions, please call Amy Dwyer, Manager, iNext, at 1.207.553.7619 or e-mail her at adwyer@ciee.org.
Passport Update
According to the U.S. State Department, routine processing for passports may take as long as ten to twelve weeks. This is due to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a law requiring airline passengers entering the U.S. from within the Western Hemisphere to possess a valid passport.
It has taken many of our students twelve weeks or more to get a new passport. Spring 2008 students need to have their passports by early November in order to apply for a visa. CIEE strongly recommends that they expedite their passport applications. Please remember that passports must be valid for at least six months after the end date of their program.
