    PASSPORTS & DOCUMENTATION

    All travelers must have a passport, adequate funds to support themselves, and a return airline ticket to travel out of the USA. Travelers must have a Passport valid for six months from entry to any foreign country.

    The travelers must ensure they have the proper documentation to travel into each country on their itinerary and for re-entry and return to their country. Please check with the appropriate consulate and your chosen airline carrier to ensure you have the proper documentation. Always check your passport and visa requirements. US citizens may visit the US Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov for more information. The website also has information for consulates by country to assist with requirements.

    There are special requirements for children leaving the US, and many countries have adopted special requirements for the protection of children. If you are traveling with a child that is not your own, a single parent with a child, a child with a different last name, or traveling without the child’s natural parents, you will require documentation proving your right to travel with children. Since regulations vary by country, contact your consulate or embassy of your country and visit the immigration site of the country you are traveling to for the requirements.

    Kids Sea Camp reservation office and staff will not assume responsibility for passengers not having the correct documentation.
