Important Information for those Transiting Via the USA

The US Department of Homeland Security has stated that it is necessary to remind travellers from all Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) countries that they must obtain approval through the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) before travelling to the United States. This requirement, effective from January 2009, applies to all eligible citizens or nationals travelling under the Visa Waiver Programme.

The ESTA, a web-based system, determines a person’s eligibility to enter the United States before boarding their flight. Travellers without an approved ESTA may be denied boarding, experience delayed processing, or be denied admission at a US port of entry. To apply for the ESTA, visitors must hold an e-passport. Without one, you will have to get a visa at the embassy. Visitors to the USA, and those travelling via the USA to other destinations should apply for travel authorisation at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.

General Advice on Travel Documents and Visas

Regardless of visa requirements for specific countries, we recommend the following when travelling abroad to minimise difficulties at borders: The better prepared you are before travelling, the easier and smoother your travel experience will be.

• Carry spare passport photos when you travel for visa and entry permit applications.
• Make sure you have enough time to apply for visas before you travel. Some visas may take several weeks to obtain, so don’t wait until the last minute.
• Check your tour dossier to see if you require a single or multi-entry visa for your destination(s)
• Photocopy and scan the photo page of your passport, visas, cards and any other essential travel documents. Ensure you have a paper copy and a digital copy if you lose the originals.
• Double-check all visa information on official embassy websites. Wikipedia and travel blogs are not authoritative sources for researching country entry requirements.
• Ensure your passport is valid for a sufficient time after travelling. Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond travel dates; some ask for longer.
• Check you have enough spare pages in your passport if you apply for visas on arrival.
• Print off proof of onward travel (flight ticket) and have it with you when approaching immigration desks.
• Print off travel insurance certificate and have it with you when travelling.
• If your tour arrives in a country via a land border and you wish to apply for a visa on arrival, ensure that you can do so at that border crossing. The country dossiers on your tour dossier page list border crossings.
• Print a copy of your tour itinerary and tour and hotel vouchers, and have them with you when approaching immigration desks.
