Travelers to the United States: It is important that all travelers to the United States take note of the following:
A visa will be necessary for entry to the United States unless passengers are entitled under the Visa Waiver Scheme. The Visa Waiver Scheme allows holders of full British Citizens Passports who have the right of abode in the UK to complete a Visa Waiver Form and submit this on arrival. You must ensure that you fulfill with all US Government requirements as per the Visa Waiver Form before confirming your booking.
All British passport holders, including children, traveling to the USA under the VWP (Visa Waiver Programme) will need their own machine-readable passports (MRP). This means that anyone without an MRP, including children who are currently on a parent’s passport, will need a visa to travel to the USA. A British Passport is machine-readable when the white strip at the foot of the personal data page (at the back of the passport) bears two lines of print. If there’s no white strip, or the white strip is blank, then the passport is not machine-readable.
For further details on entry requirements for the USA, check the US Embassy website: www.usembassy.org.uk or the Foreign & Commonwealth Office: www.fco.gov.uk. If you are not a British citizen, you should contact your Embassy for information and advice on the visa requirements of the countries you propose to visit. Please note: Passport and visa regulations can change and you should, therefore, check with the relevant embassy well in advance of travel. It is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and if appropriate, a visa. It can often take some time to obtain a visa, so you are advised to apply in plenty of time.
We accept no responsibility for customers who do not possess the correct documents. It is your responsibility to check and comply with any health requirements. We recommend that British Citizens visit the ‘Health Advice for Travelers’ section of the Department of Health’s website at www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance or speak to their GP. Non-British Citizens should make inquiries at their own country’s Department of Health or similar advisory bodies.
