Passports & Visas

Our Checklist:

You must make sure you have valid, acceptable passports and any required visas or other documentation for both the final destination and any stop-off points en-route.

Passports:

• Passports should be valid for a minimum period after the date of entry to any country six months. If you’re travelling within the EU your passport just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay and you don’t need any additional period of validity on your passport beyond this.

• If you are unsure about your current passport requirement please contact us or contact a consulate of the destination country within your country.

• If you need to apply for a passport or to renew one, you should do this well in advance of travel and at least four weeks before. If you are 16 years or over and have never had a passport in your own name, you should apply for one at least six weeks before your holiday. 

• You may not be able to travel (and insurance may be invalid) if the names on passports and travel documents don’t match. If any member of your party changes their name, you must tell us immediately so that we can change booking documentation. Name changes are not always possible on scheduled airlines.

• How to contact the Passport Office: For customers who’re thinking about travel it’s important to be aware that renewing or applying for a passport in person at one of the Passport Offices is by appointment only

Advanced Passenger Information (API):

• You may be required to submit Advanced Passenger Information (API), to the airline or cruise line that you’re travelling with. Please check your travel documents for details of how to submit this information. Failure to provide the required data may result in carriage being denied.
