Requirements for travel to foregin countries

I, recently, learned that when traveling to South Africa all the forms you need to take with you for a safari need to be filled out in Black ink. I was informed that one form I needed to bring with me had to be in black in, that's great except for the fact that the U.S. Coustoms Agent who inspected my belongings he signed in blued ink.

I don't know what the requirements are for other countries but it has been my experience that the only things most countries require is a valid passport. I have traveled to Eastren Europe when a Visa was required and there are still countries that require a Visa but, for the most part, tourists only need a valid passport (all countries that the U.S. has ties to NATO and the EU).

When I was traveling in the Ukraine I learned that my little pocket knife was against the law to own and when I told people I had it packed in my luggage they couldn't believe I had brought it with me. It was un-heard of.

Now, I'm going to South Africa for a hunting Safari, leaving this Saturday AM and I'mm taking 2 of my rifles and I'm worried about taking a small knife. The thing that drive me crazy.

I'm taking two cameras one point and shoot the other a good digital camera for action shots and stills. My little camera can be used as a video recorder so that's what's going to go on it.

Maybe good idea left knife behind and buy new when you get to place you go.There seem many different rule about travel to foreign country.I know some friends me have some problem get visa fo go europe,us,australia and if have Thai passport then many country require have visa before travel but if have passport for most western country then for many place a visa not requireed.I know some people have problem get visa for travel if have thai passport and lose money when make document for get visa if visa not come then have to make again.
take care,
