If you decide not to purchase your tickets immediately remember that most airlines review their fares and fare rules on the 31 March. For accommodation and tours, a deposit is usually paid to secure a reservation and the balance is paid 6 to 8 weeks prior to departure. Most tour operators accept credit cards, but some levy a surcharge. Most countries require the passport to be valid for six months after you leave their country. Plan early - new passports can take up to ten weeks to be issued.
Many countries also require an entry visa.
These usually need to be applied for before you leave. Requirements vary from country to country. Our consultants are happy to assist. We recommend that you start applying at least 6 weeks prior to departure. All rights reserved.
