Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. If it expires before November 2027, renew it now.

If you don't yet have a passport, or yours is expiring soon, apply as early as possible. Standard US processing currently takes 10–13 weeks; expedited service takes 6–8 weeks. Don't leave this until the last minute!

• Apply or renew at travel.state.gov

• Store a photo of your passport in your email or cloud storage (Google Photos, iCloud) as a backup

• At the airport, keep your passport on your person, not in checked luggage!

US citizens do not currently need to apply for a visa to enter Spain for stays under 90 days. Currently, you can enter with your US passport alone.

That being said, ETIAS, the EU's new travel authorization (similar to the US ESTA for visiting the US) is expected to launch before our wedding date. It will be a quick online application costing around €7. We'll update this page as soon as it's confirmed. Check etias.com for the latest details.

The best way to get around Mallorca is with a rental car. Rental car companies will absolutely try to upsell you on insurance so double check if your credit card has insurance coverage already! If you decline their coverage, they will hold a very large amount (~$700) on your credit card as collateral that gets refunded if you return the car in the same way that you received it. It is an annoying scare tactic to convince you to buy their insurance which comes with a smaller collateral amount. Always take a video of the entire rental car before driving away.

If you plan to rent a car in Spain, you are legally required to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your US driver's license. Car rental companies may refuse your booking without one.

An IDP is an official translation of your license recognized in over 150 countries. In the US, it can only be issued by the AAA and you cannot get one online or after you've left the country.

• Visit your nearest AAA branch, no membership required. Cost is approximately $20

• Bring your valid US driver's license and two passport-sized photos. They can also take your picture onsite for a fee

• Its valid for one year from the date of issue

• Always carry both your IDP and your original US license when driving in Spain

We strongly recommend setting up an eSIM before you leave home rather than relying on your US carrier's international roaming plan, which can be expensive. An eSIM is a digital SIM you download directly to your phone, no physical card needed, and you keep your US number active at the same time.

We recommend Airalo but there are plenty of options to choose from!

We also recommend downloading WhatsApp as that will be the main communication platform for the week. Our planning team will set up a chat for the for last minute questions or support needs.

Our favorite plug adaptor is THIS ONE

The voltage in Spain (220–240V) is double that of the US (110–120V). Plugging a US device directly into a Spanish outlet without checking its compatibility can damage or destroy it.

Most modern devices (laptops, phone chargers, camera chargers) are dual-voltage. Look for "100–240V" printed on the charger. These only need a plug adapter, not a converter.
