You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of travel and not older than 10 years.
In destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the "Documents Required for Visa" list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border gate of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet, and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed and, if the country applies a visa to T.R. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. As there is a possibility that our guests under the age of 18 may be asked for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents by the police officer on duty at the country entry-exit points when traveling alone or with only one of their parents, we advise our guests under 18 and their parents to be sensitive about this issue.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports requiring a visa) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed.

The agency is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955.

Panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, are not the responsibility of the agency if they cannot be carried out on the day and time of the tour due to roads closed by local authorities, places where visits or entry are not permitted, or if they become impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle entry is not permitted.
