Black Abroad: 2026 International Travel Resource Guide (PDF)

A 37-page PDF for Black travelers planning a trip abroad in 2026. It takes you from booking to your first days on the ground: flights, entry rules, where to stay, getting around, money and staying safe, with every official link one tap away.

Everything was checked against official government sources on September 29, 2026, including this year's changes: Thailand's shorter visa-free stay, Ghana ending visa on arrival, Europe's new fingerprint border system and the UK's £20 ETA.
