What Documents For Worldschooling Do We Need? - Worldschooling Q&A - S01E13

Worldschooling Q&A Episode 13 – What Documents For Worldschooling Do We Need?

In this episode of the Worldschooling Q&A podcast, Astrid and Clint dive into one of the most important behind-the-scenes aspects of family travel: handling passports, visas, vaccinations, IDPs, and all the documents that keep worldschooling families moving smoothly across borders. They break down the essentials every traveler needs to know, share real-life mishaps they’ve witnessed on the road, and explain how to avoid costly mistakes that can derail a trip before it even begins.

You’ll learn why passport expiration dates matter more than most people realize, how visa rules vary widely between destinations, and which countries require vaccines like Yellow Fever in order to enter. Astrid and Clint also discuss homeschooling regulations abroad, driving requirements like the International Driving Permit, and why copies of birth certificates can be crucial for solo parents traveling with kids.
