Travel Tax Increasing

By | June 30, 2010

Just a little reminder in case you didn’t hear: you have exactly 14 days to renew your passport or add pages before the prices go the opposite direction of Obama’s approval ratings.

A new adult passport goes from $100 to $135.

A kids ‘ passport, good for a measly 4.5 years will be $105.

If you want to add pages to your passport, there is currently no charge.  The new cost is $82.  That is some expensive paper.  How would you calculate the percentage increase for that?

If you’ve been thinking of renouncing your U.S. citizenship, don’t delay.  Free becomes $450.  I kinda think we should pay people $450 to do it. 

There’s a full list here.  I still hate July 13.

    Thanks, Todd. Austin actually needs to get some pages added after our visit to the Ministry of Interior yesterday. Maybe we’ll jump on it this week.
