Passport & Visa Information
Passports
It is important that each individual checks the passport validity requirements of the country they are visiting. We recommend that you have at least 3-6 months remaining on your passport at the time of travel as for some countries this is a requirement.
Topflight for Schools requires passport information 6 weeks prior to your departure so it is important to allow plenty of time for your passport application to meet this deadline.
