BEFORE YOU TRAVEL Passports and Visas
British and Irish passport holder information It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of a full passport, valid for at least six months after the date of return to the UK. You must also have all visas and vaccination certifi cates that are necessary to enter or pass through any countries involved in the journey or tour. Visa requirements are listed in individual Trip Notes, but please note that this information is subject to change. If required, visas can be obtained through the Explore Visa Service or the relevant embassy
or consulate.
Visas Visa requirements should be confi rmed with the relevant embassy or consulate. Unless otherwise
stated (see ‘Y’ below), visas are not required for tourist visits of up to 30 days. General Note: Some countries refuse admission to travellers not meeting their accepted standards of dress or appearance (even if they hold a visa). Entry may also be refused to certain countries if
Innoculation and Health Requirements
When tours visit remote areas or developing countries we normally recommend immunisation against typhoid, tetanus, polio and hepatitis A. Parts of East Africa and South America ask for a Certifi cate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever. Malarial prophylaxis should be taken in many areas.
