Travel Documents

Obtaining required travel documents is your sole responsibility. Requirements vary by country and are subject to change at any time. Please check with the government agencies of the countries you will be visiting for the most recent information.

For countries that require a visa, guests can obtain one through the embassy of that country or through a visa processing service. We partner with CIBT. CLICK HERE to visit CIBT's website.

Please note that some countries have the option to purchase a visa on arrival at a low cost, however we recommend obtaining all required documents in advance whenever possible.

Additional information, by country, for UK Passport Holders

All information provided below is for reference only and is subject to change. Visa regulations and processes are determined by the countries visited and your local consulates, who may make changes at their discretion. It is your responsibility to confirm any details with your travel agent, visa provider or consulate, and to obtain and carry the correct travel documents.

Egypt

You can get a visa before you travel from the official Visa2Egypt portal or your nearest Egyptian consulate. Tourist visas granted using the e-visa system are valid for a maximum of 3 months. It is advisable to get a visa before you travel, particularly if travelling for work or business.

If you wish to get a visa on arrival, you can do so at approved bank kiosks within airport arrival halls, before reaching immigration counters. The visa fee is US$25, payable in US dollars as the preferred currency, although you may also be able to pay in pounds sterling or euros. Visas granted on arrival are valid for a maximum of 30 days. There’s no need to buy a visa from an agent. In many cases agents will charge more than US$25 for a visa. If you’re harassed by an agent, report the incident to the tourist police in the airport terminal.

If you’re travelling to Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba resorts for up to 15 days, you will receive a free entry permission stamp upon arrival. If you intend to travel out of these areas or stay longer than 15 days, you must get a visa.

If you have travelled to one of the South Sinai Red Sea resorts, entered without a visa and your plans have changed, you can normally purchase a visa at Sharm el Sheikh airport to allow you to travel elsewhere.

For further information and enquiries, contact the Egyptian Consulate in London.

India

A single-entry visa is required for our India programs. Most nationalities are eligible for an e-visa and can apply online. Visas cannot be obtained upon arrival.

Israel

A visa is not required. Visitors must hold a UK passport that is valid six months from the end of your stay.

Jordan

A single-entry visa is required for our Jordan programs. UK passport holders may obtain a visa on arrival in Jordan under the following circumstances:

• Guests with a scheduled Uniworld transfer will be eligible to be part of a free group visa that our vendor will secure for the group upon arrival at Queen Alia Airport.
• Guests arriving outside of our transfer guidelines can obtain a visa on their own upon arrival at Queen Alia Airport for a cost of JOD 40 per person; this must be paid in Jordanian currency. Credit cards are not accepted. There is a bank in the airport where guests can exchange money to pay for their visa.

Peru

A visa is not required for visitors from the UK who hold valid passports.

Cambodia

Entry and exit occur during the cruise/tour program. Our local team will assist guests with obtaining a visa on arrival.

• For programs beginning in Hanoi, the port of entry for Cambodia will be Siem Reap International Airport (REP). A Uniworld Representative will be on site to assist in fast tracking visa service. Guests must bring $50 USD (cash) to receive a visa.
• For programs beginning in Ho Chi Minh City, the point of entry for Cambodia will be Phnom Penh Port for border crossing. The visa will be issued by an Immigration officer during the cruise/tour. Guests must bring $50 USD (cash) to receive a visa.

Vietnam

The Vietnam Government reintroduced in 2022 the Vietnam visa waiver program for citizens of 13 countries, including the UK. Therefore UK passport holders do not need a visa to enter Vietnam for stays of up to 15 days in the country.

For Uniworld's Vietnam program, UK guests will re-enter Vietnam a second time 8 days after they exit; the visa waiver still applies to UK guests when they re-enter.
