What to know about passports & visas
While everyone traveling on an international tour with EF is required to have a passport, it’s important to note that when it comes to documentation, each destination and each traveler’s needs are unique.
Passports
Remember that the passport application and renewal process can take up to 14 weeks.
Must be valid for at least six months after your tour’s return date
Must have at least three blank pages
Traveler name must match what’s listed in your EF account
We use travelers’ passport information to book flights—so their first, middle, and last names must perfectly match.
Visas & requirements for non-US citizens
Your child's visa and entry requirement section in their individual traveler account is a great place to start when determining if a visa is required, but we always recommend confirming this with government sources. You will get access to your account after enrolling, and visa information provided by EF is for U.S. passport holders only. For all other travelers, we recommend utilizing a tool like Sherpa or Visas Central to find quick-and-easy personalized information.
European travel requirements
As of January 8, 2025, travelers of specific nationalities whose tour visits any country in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales or Norther Ireland) are required to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). The European Union has announced they will follow a similar authorization (called ETIAS) later in 2025. It is important to review your child's itinerary for any necessary visas or travel authorizations, a great place to start is in the visa and entry requirements page in your individual traveler account after you enroll.
