Passports and Visas
|
|
We can only advise of the requirements for British and Irish passport holders. For British and Irish passports endorsed in any way and all other passport holders, requirements should be checked with the relevant embassy. You should ensure that you have a valid 10 year passport and, as many countries require expiry dates on passports to be a considerable length of time after the return from holiday, we would recommend that your passport is valid for 6 months after your return to the UK. The Home Office requires that children under 16 travel on their own passports. In most cases where we have indicated visas are required, clients are responsible for obtaining these themselves. The cost, method of obtaining a visa, and time necessary for application, vary considerably between countries and are subject to change. We would therefore advise you to contact the relevant Embassy at the earliest opportunity for the most up to date information.

Health and Vaccinations
|
Health facilities, hygiene and disease risk vary worldwide. You should take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible and ensure that vaccinations or preventative measures such as malaria tablets are taken early enough (which may be a month or more prior to departure) to be fully effective by the date of travel. Sources of information include the Department of Health free leaflet ‘Health advice for travellers’ (available on request Tel. 0800 555 777), your General Practitioner or a specialist clinic.
