Passports

British citizens must have a full 10 year British passport. Children including infants must also have their own passports.  Most countries require that passports are valid for at least six months after the date of return from your destination. Please allow plenty of time to obtain or renew your passport before your holiday departure date. This can take up to 6 weeks. More information is available at the Identity & Passport Service

Visas

British passport holders may also need to obtain a visa for certain destinations. You must check the up to date position in good time before you depart for your holiday. British passport holders may consult our guide to the destinations requiring visas, set out below. If you do not have a British passport, you will need to contact the Embassy for your destination to seek advice. Should a visa need to be obtained in advance of travel we can recommend the services of a visa company, just ask the team member handling your booking.  Please note that postal applications to certain embassies can take up to 4 weeks so early application is advisable. 

Health Requirements

It is recommended that you keep up to date with the required UK schedule of immunisations. Helpful information can be found on the Department of Health website or by telephoning 0870 1555 455. Some destinations may require specific immunisations. You must check whether your destination has specific immunisation requirements. It is wise to seek advice from a qualified doctor or practitioner specialising in travel medicine as early as possible prior to travel.  If you have a medical condition of any kind or if you are pregnant, then you must get clearance to travel from your own doctor. You must also check the terms of your travel insurance as certain restrictions and exclusions may apply to pregnant passengers or passengers with certain medical conditions.

For holidays in the European Economic Area, you should obtain a European Health Insurance Card before you depart. This is available from most Post Offices. It is not a substitute for comprehensive travel insurance.
