FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport or visa?
Answer
YES, you will need your passport for this trip! Those flying from Canada do not require a visa. If you are travelling from the UK, you do not need a visa but you will be required to fill out an Electronic Travel Authorization document to enter the EU. This will cost around around £10, and make sure you complete it at least a week before you travel. Make sure all your documents are updated - don't wait until the last minute!!
