Passport, Visa & Immigration Requirements

PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION

Before traveling you need to check what documentations (e.g. passport or ID) you need to travel to / enter your destination country / countries.  Passports or other documents used for travelling must be valid for the time of travel and it is also important to note that some countries require the passport to be valid for a certain period (e.g. 6 months) even after your planned exit / return date.

When travelling abroad it is obligatory to check whether a visa is required to enter the destination country and/or whether a visa is required for any countries to be included during the journey, e.g. changing for connecting flights at an airport in a foreign country. This is the case for countries to be visited for day trips from the main destination country and all countries to be entered during multi-centre holidays.

Some countries require a visa to be granted prior to the commencement of the journey, whereas some countries allow visas to be granted and paid for upon entry.

There could be other immigration requirements, for example, you must prove that you have secured accommodation either in a hotel or with a friend / relative for the duration of your stay and that you have sufficient funds to support yourself.

Some countries may refuse entry if you have stamps in your passports from certain countries they do not maintain a diplomatic relationship with. In such cases, you should obtain a new / clean passport before your holiday.

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any entry, passport, visa or immigration requirements. We are not responsible for denied entry and expulsion to / from any countries due to invalid / expired or lost travel documents.

Please note: The impacts of Brexit may change your visa, ticket, and health requirements. Third country nationals may require an airport transit visa when passing through EU Member States. There is the potential for disruption at borders when travelling between the UK and EU Member States and you should allow sufficient time for this when planning any onward travel. You should check any impacts of Brexit on your travel in advance of your departure, to ensure that you fulfil the requirements post-Brexit, including any passport validity requirements.
