Passports

Passports valid for at least six months following your visit, with at least two blank pages available for stamps, are required for all international travel. If you need to obtain or renew a passport, Australian citizens can visit the Australian Passport Office and New Zealand citizens the New Zealand Government website.

We recommend you make copies of your passport photo page, visas, credit cards, driver’s license and any prescriptions, and keep these separate from your originals in case of loss or theft.

Visas

For visa information, all guests including non-AU/NZ citizens and legal residents should seek advice from their respective embassy, consulate or Travel Agent to determine which documents are needed prior to departure. Tips for AU/NZ citizens regarding their destinations are below. Should you require a visa for your journey, please be aware that each country/embassy/consulate sets its own policies regarding their issue, so allow ample time for processing. Be sure to obtain and carefully review for accuracy all your required documents prior to departure to avoid delays, denied boarding/entry or additional cost.
