Documents and tips for British travellers
British Citizen passports are the relevant document here; make sure yours is the full 10-year adult passport and has the validity buffer the destination requires beyond your stay. Fees are typically billed in US dollars, so British applicants may see a small card conversion from GBP at checkout. The most common avoidable mistake for UK citizens: booking flights first and assuming entry rules match the EU — UK passport holders should confirm the eVisa requirement separately for each destination.
- Enter your details exactly as shown on the photo page of your British Citizen passport.
- Post-Brexit rules mean some routes that were once seamless for UK travellers now require an eVisa or travel authorisation — confirm before you book.
- If you hold a British National (Overseas) or other British status, your eligibility can differ from a standard British Citizen.
