TRAVELLERS ABROAD.
VISITS TO FOREIGN LANDS.
PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Wednesday.
The advisability of travellers abroad securing passports for foreign countries as well as for tlio British Empire was emphasised bv the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. P. A. de ]<t Perrelle, to-day. The Minister stated that, as in past years, no doubt numbers of New Zealatiders had now planned their trips abroad to obtain tho benefits of the northern summer and it might not be generally known that unless a person indicated that it was intended to visit foreign countries tho passport was issued for tho British Empire only.
Persons would bo well advised to show in their applications for passports the names of any foreign countries which they intended to visit or were likely to visit, Xo doubt numbers on arrival in the United Kingdom decided to extend their tour and where there was any possibility of that time and expense would be saved if the names of the countries to bo visited were endorsed on tho passports in New Zealand. No harm would be done if such countries were not visited, but the trouble arose when the name of a country was not included in tho passport.
