Plan ahead and obtain your passport now if you don't already have one.One of the smartest things you can do -- even if you end up not working abroad immediately -- is to obtain your passport as soon as you can if you do not have one yet. A passport is an internationally recognized travel document issued by the U.S. Department of State that verifies your identity and nationality. A valid passport is needed to enter and leave most foreign countries.

and you cannot apply for a visa (permission to enter and work in a foreign country) until you have it.
