Documentation required for a tour:

Passport

For a guest travelling abroad, a passport is an official document and also an identity. A Visa is a must to enter any particular country.

The Passport should be valid for a minimum of 180 days from the date of arrival conclusion in India. Please cross check all your particulars including your name/ address/validity/expiry date and Blank pages for VISAs as per requirement.

The passports are well maintained and should have sufficient blank pages (that are not damaged/stapled/torn) for recording stamping of visas of various countries. Handwritten passports are not allowed.

Visa (World tours)

Visa permits the guest to enter another country. For tourists, generally a short term visa is granted by the respective consulate. We are visa facilitators and generally assist guests for preparing Visa documents, submitting them & collecting the passports from the consulate. The Consulate may call the guest for a personal interview even after all relevant documents have been submitted. The company is not responsible for any kind of error caused by the consulate. The decision to issue the Visa is at the sole discretion of the respective consulate; the company does not have a hold on the decision of the consulate and cannot object to it either. Just in case your visa is granted on the old passport and has a validity kindly cross check weather you need to transfer the visa on the current passport.

As stated, Bright Angel Travels is just a facilitator for procuring visas. We will not be able to represent any visa issue, either pre or post submission and after issuance of visa. Bright Angel Travels requests all its guests to cross-check their visas copies and intimate any discrepancies well in time to their travel advisor

Sometimes your Visa which is granted may have a longer validity than your passport in such a case please remember to carry your old passport along with your new passport.

Immigration

Though you are holding a valid a visa, it only gives you the permission to enter the respective countries immigration point. Granting or rejecting the permission to enter a country is solely dependent upon the discretion of the immigration authority only. Sometimes a guest may be deported/ interrogated/ and may be held back by the immigration authorities for a longer span than the usual time. In such a case if the guest misses out on the itinerary program the company is not liable.

Travel Insurance:

We Strongly recommend you to get yourself a Travel Insurance for all the ages. If you're travelling as a family together, rather than sort out all your holiday insurance individually, it makes sense to pick a policy that can protect you all. That's even more important if you have little ones with you. We can definitely help you in getting a Travel Policy.

In case of claims, the insurance company shall be solely responsible for granting or rejecting claims and we do not have any hold over it. It is at a sole discretion of the respective company we are only facilitator. Also, insurance does not cover pre-diagnosed ailments. In case of foreign nationals, insurance will have to be obtained by the individuals on their own.

In case an insurance is issued by a third party, and if any claims to the same arise, Bright Angel Travels is not responsible for any coordination with the Insurance Company
