Before you go
- Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months after your trip, with 2 blank pages.
- Carry a return or onward ticket, your accommodation details and proof you can pay for your stay.
- If you need an e-Visa, apply only on the government’s own site: find it through the country’s embassy. Copycat sites charge extra.
- Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate, especially if you travel from or through Africa or South America.
- Airlines decide boarding with Timatic: check your route on the IATA Travel Centre.
