Travel documents, visas and travel declarations

Make sure you travel with a valid passport or travel document, obtain any relevant visas and complete the necessary travel declaration so you can have an enjoyable trip.

Travel documents

All passengers, including children and infants under two years of age need their own passport or valid travel document. This document must be valid during your travel period. Many countries/regions additionally require that a passport is valid for 3 or 6 months beyond the end of your trip. Processing times for passports vary but many countries offer fast-track applications.
