What are the requirements for passports and visas?
You are responsible for ensuring your passport is valid and kept in good condition. Some countries do not accept passports with less than six months validity and damaged or defaced passports are often not acceptable for travel. For information about how to obtain or renew a UK passport, please see the Identity and Passport Service website http://www.passport.gov.uk/. For travel to certain countries a visa or electronic travel authority (an electronic form of visa) is required. You should leave plenty of time to obtain a visa before you leave the UK. For more information on visa requirements and other entry requirements see the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s travel advice for the country you wish to visit http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029390572.
