Visa Advice

Making sure that you have the right visas in place is an essential part of your travel plans. Visas can be required to give you permission to enter and stay in a particular destination. So you must check well in advance of departure if a visa is required.

Do you need a visa?

Many countries require that you get a visa in advance of travel, whereas other destinations will issue you with a visa on arrival at the airport or land border. 

Visa requirements vary from country to country, and are subject to frequent change so be sure to check each country's visa rules and entry requirements carefully before travel. You can check with the relevant country's embassy or consulate for detailed visa advice about each destination. 

If you are a British passport holder we always recommend that you check the latest visa requirements and travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

What about working visas?

If you intend to do paid work abroad on your gap year, then you will usually be required to get a work visa in place before you leave the UK. Working visa regulations vary, so please check individual country visa information or our individual work abroad programmes for details. We are accredited Aussie specialists so we are a great choice to apply for your working holiday visa for Australia

 

Passports

Ensure your passport has plenty of blank pages and is valid for your entire trip. Some countries require a minimum of 6 months' validity beyond your exit date. Also, note that damaged passports may not be accepted. Check embassy rules if your passport is damaged.
