Home Planning a trip Visas

Do I need a visa?

Your visa situation is extremely important and should be thoroughly checked out well before departure.

Some countries insist that you have your visa arranged before arrival, ready for a specific date, whereas some will grant you one as you arrive.

Some airlines will not even let you board the plane if you do not have the relevant paperwork which ends up being fairly costly and extremely inconvenient. Check flight prices.

Which countries do I need a visa for?

Here is a guide of visa requirements for UK passport holders. Please note that visa restrictions change regularly so it is extremely important that you check with your travel agent, visa agency like VisaHQ or direct with the embassy.
