Are you planning your next trip? Where are you heading? Can I come with you please?! This guide will be your one stop read to all the destinations and the guide to vaccinations and visas that you will require. I have teamed up with ivisa.com who bring all of your travel needs like visas, passport and visa photos, tourist cards, invitation letters and health declaration forms for COVID-19 in one place. They are really simple and easy to use, very fast at processing your applications and can even be FREE for whichever travel document you need.

With travel on the backburner or very restricted at the moment, uncertainty is definitely not what we need at the moment. Applying for your health declaration before you travel to an amber or even red country is worth doing with a clear mind without worry of anything going wrong. This is where ivisa.com can help. The information in this post has been taken directly from www.gov.uk, www.nhs.uk and each countries government website for visa information.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO VACCINATIONS AND VISAS AROUND THE WORLD

★ This guide is from a British and UK citizens point of view. If you are from another country, please check the countries government website you are travelling to for their requirements.

WHEN BOOKING YOUR VACCINATIONS

For vaccinations you will need to visit your GP and receive your vaccinations before you travel. You may need a booster or completely new injections depending on what you have had before. Ideally you will need to receive the vaccination(s) at a month before you travel. You will need your vaccination(s) as soon as you can before you travel as there could be a waiting list. Please discuss the areas you will be traveling to with you GP, who will be able to recommend the right vaccinations depending on the location or climate.

WHEN APPLYING FOR YOUR VISA

I would always recommend applying for your visa before you travel. This way you know you’ve got it and won’t have to spend lots of time in the airport for the application process. Once you have completed passport control and had your visa checked, your holiday or trip can start. There is nothing worse than hanging around in the airport after a very long flight.

I always use the same photo as I have in my passport on my visas, this way it’s coherant and I always staple my visa to a blank page without any passport stamps on. It’s best to know you will received your visa quickly so you don’t have to worry about it whilst travelling, this is why I love ivisa.com as they always quarantee a quick application process that is no more than 30 minutes (this can’t be guaranteed at very busy times) or more depending on the destination and complexity of the visa application and you can track your application so you know where it’s at. I would recommend applying for your visa well in advance of travelling so you don’t have a mad rush to get it sorted and processed.
