PASSPORTS, VISAS AND HEALTH MATTERS VISAS
The information in this section is for holders of British Citizen passports only. Anyone who does not hold a British Citizen passport (this includes citizens of British Dependent Territories, citizens who hold their citizenship by virtue of their connection with Gibraltar, British Subjects who have the right of abode in the UK and EC and other nationals) should consult the embassy of the country of destination and the Home Office Immigration Department, to check whether they require special documentation for the countries they are visiting or for return to the UK.
PASSPORTS
All British Passports must be valid for travel and have at least 6 months validity after you return home at the end of your holiday. All British Citizens require a full 10 year British Passport for all voyages. Children who have been issued passports valid for 5 years are permitted to travel. It is important that names and initials on the passport exactly match those on your tickets.
If you are applying for a new passport, please leave adequate time to action your application. Please be aware that if you are applying for your first British Citizen passport, you may now be required to attend interviews prior to the passport being issued. For this reason, we would advise all guests in this situation to allow a minimum of six weeks to obtain their passports. For further information, please contact the Identity and Passport Service Advice line on 0300 2220 000 or visit the website at
www.direct.gov.uk/passports or email
info@passports.gov.uk. If you DO NOT HOLD A BRITISH CITIZEN PASSPORT, your passport, travel documentation and visa requirements may be different.
The visa advice included in this brochure is applicable to British Citizen passport holders only. If you do not hold a British Citizen passport your situation may be different and you should seek advice from your travel agent or the relevant embassy/consulate. Your passport must contain adequate blank pages for any visas and subsequent stamps. We suggest that you bring a few photocopies of the photograph/personal details page of your passport with you. This may be necessary for some ports of call.
United States of America (and territories) Entry Requirements International travellers, who are nationals of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries, may enter the USA without a visa after completing an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) – please see the instructions for how to apply. You may check to see if you are eligible for this programme by visiting the US Embassy website in the UK at
www.usembassy.org.uk or by contacting them on 090 4245 0100 (premium call rate). Some of the conditions for entry into the VWP are listed below, however if you do not hold a full British Citizen passport or a passport from another country eligible for the VWP, your situation may be different and you should check to ensure you have the correct documentation for your holiday.
All VWP travellers, regardless of age or type of passport must possess a machine readable passport.
All passports issued before 26 October 2005 must be machine- readable. Passports issued between 26 October 2005 and 26 October 2006 must have a digital photograph (digital photos are printed on a page, not glued or laminated into the passport).
A British passport is machine-readable when there are two lines of letters, numbers and chevrons (<<<<<<) printed across the long edge of the personal information page (the page with photograph and personal details). The machine-readable text will appear on a white strip on older passports and directly on the page on newer passports.
