Before you book your travel, check visa and entry requirements and security regulations as applicable to your circumstances
It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements of the airline or vessel operator you are travelling with and of countries you are travelling to or transiting through.
You are responsible for checking requirements applicable to your circumstances regarding visas, entry permits and exemptions, as well as insurance to cover your specific travel, condition and circumstances.
