Visas, Health and Safety

Entry rules for each country change from time to time, so we advise you at the time of booking and recommend checking the Australian Government's Smartraveller website before you travel. Most destinations require either an electronic visa or a travel authorisation arranged before you arrive, and some require proof of yellow fever vaccination. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of entry and have enough blank pages.

Please consult a travel doctor six to eight weeks before departure about vaccinations and malaria prevention. Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical evacuation cover, is essential, and we strongly recommend arranging it as soon as you book.
