Passports, Visas & Health

All travellers (including children and infants) will require a valid passport to travel. Different countries have their own entry requirements, from how much validity your passport requires, to whether or not you require a visa. It is important that you make sure you are aware of the entry requirements for both the country you are visiting and any you may transit through.

If your passport is endorsed in any way, you should always check with the relevant embassy. Please note, getting or renewing passports can take a number of weeks, so please leave plenty of time prior to travel. It is recommended that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport on your return date, in fact this is now mandatory in a number of countries.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have all necessary travel documents prior to travel. We cannot accept any liability if you are refused boarding or entry into a country due to incorrect documentation.

Their website maintains travel advice for destinations throughout the world. In addition it offers guidance about passports, visas, local health issues and vaccinations.
