Before you ticket a group
- Passport validity and blank-page requirements apply in addition to the visa regime; confirm them for each nationality on the official page.
- Dual nationals and holders of official or service passports follow different rules; ask for the passport your client will actually travel on.
- Where a visa is required, the e-Visa portal lists which nationalities can apply online and which need a consular visa.
- Send us the nationality and passport type with your brief so timings, meet-and-assist and airport services are planned correctly.
