from some place outside the United Kingdom, other than the Channel Islands and Eire, or who touches at any place outside the United Kingdom while traveling from the Channel Islands or Eire, is limited to £5 sterling in value; a similar limit of £5 sterling is placed on the value of the bank notes which an outgoing traveler may take with him on leaving the United Kingdom. The restrictions imposed by the order are applicable without discrimination to all travelers, and no exception to its provisions can be allowed, e.g., on grounds of diplomatic privilege.

Foreign bank notes may be imported into the United Kingdom without restriction. If, however, a traveler, being a nonresident of the United Kingdom, intends to take them out of the United Kingdom on his departure, he should insure that the Immigration Officer is informed to this effect on his arrival in the United Kingdom. The Immigration Officer will then mark the passport to show the actual amount of foreign currency notes brought into the United Kingdom, and the traveler

will be at liberty to take these out with him when he leaves.

9. Duration of visas

As certain foreign visas are valid for one trip only, or restricted in the period of time for which they may be used, applicants for visas should be careful to advise the foreign consular officer to whom application for visa is made of the expected number of trips into such foreign country and the length of the intended sojourn therein. Difficulties are frequently encountered by travelers when attempting to obtain permission for the extension of their stay in a foreign country beyond the period designated in the visa. Travelers by air must comply with the same visa regulations as apply to travelers by land

or water.

10. American citizens urgently advised to obtain visas from the appropriate foreign consuls stationed in this country before beginning their journeys

It is understood that the regulations of most foreign countries require that a visa

be obtained before the American citizen leaves the United States. Therefore American citizens proceeding abroad must assure themselves that the necessary visas have been placed in their passports by the foreign representatives in the United States of the countries they intend to visit. Should there be any question whatsoever with regard to the necessity of obtaining visas for travel in certain countries, prospective travelers are cautioned to consult the appropriate foreign consuls before leaving the United States.

11. Special documents required for visas for certain countries

(a) Certain special certificates for travel in Latin America. Most countries of Latin America are understood to require that applicants for visas present certificates of vaccination against smallpox and must also present health certificates. Many countries of Latin America also require police certificates. As the regulations of the particular foreign countries governing these different matters vary frequently it is not

practicable to attempt to list the countries. Appropriate information will be furnished by the consuls of the countries to be visited. (b) Smallpox vaccination for travel to foreign countries. The United States Public Health Service urges all prospective travelers to foreign countries who are not immune to smallpox by previous attack or successful vaccination within 3 years, as evidenced by a valid vaccination certificate, to be vaccinated prior to embarking on such travel and to secure a certificate on which the result of the vaccination is recorded. Otherwise passengers may be subjected to possible delay and vaccination before they are readmitted to the United States.

(c) Inoculation requirements for travel throughout the world. In view of present conditions in foreign countries brought on by the war it is desirable that American citizens should inform themselves as to appropriate vaccination or inoculation precautions which should be taken before traveling abroad.

12. Visas to include outlying possessions, etc.

Americans who intend to travel in certain foreign countries, and in the outlying dominions, colonies, mandated territories, or dependencies of such countries, are cautioned to inquire regarding, and obtain, if necessary, specific visas not only for the foreign country, but for the outlying dominions, colonies, mandated territories, or dependencies in which they intend to travel.

13. Visas for American citizens who are classed as immigrants

It is understood that persons proceeding as immigrants to foreign countries must have their passports visaed for that purpose. Particular inquiry should be made by American citizens of the diplomatic and consular officers of the countries to which they expect to proceed whether they will be classed as immigrants and for that rea
