Visa Info
Please visit www.visaworld.co.uk
If traveling with a British Passport you will require visitors visas for each of the following countries:
Algeria – Chad – Niger – CAR Central African Republic – DRC Democratic Republic of Congo – Uganda – Kenya – Tanzania – Malawi – Mozambique – South Africa offers British Passport Holders a free 3 month Visitors Visa on entry at any Port/Boarder crossing.
All costs are explained on www.visaworld.co.uk as is the application process.
Each individual will be responsible for applying for their own visas. We strongly suggest that anyone who has recently visited Israel, and has accompanying visa stamps in their passport should purchase a new passport as this will cause major problems at several of the boarder crossings.
For UK passport holders the cost will be approx. £385.00 per person for all African visas. No one will be able to start the trip without being in receipt of all required visas prior to leaving N. Ireland on the 5th April 2010.
For those able to apply for an Irish passport it will cost approx £80.00 and will permit you free entry into 3 or 4 of the intended countries.
The cost of your visas is already built into your personal contribution. There should be no additional costs in this area.
