Document issues are one of the most common reasons travellers are denied boarding. A few simple checks before you leave can save enormous stress and expense.
Passport validity: Many countries require 6 months' validity beyond your travel dates. Check your destination's specific requirements — some require only 3 months. Renew early to be safe.
Visa requirements: Use the UK government's official foreign travel advice at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for country-specific requirements. Many popular destinations now offer eVisa — apply well in advance as processing times vary.
Other documents: Return flight confirmation, hotel bookings, travel insurance certificate, and any required vaccination certificates (Yellow Fever for some African and South American destinations).
