YOUR INFORMATION

Everyone is responsible for completing this booking form and agreeing to all terms, UNLESS you are a couple paying for both reservations.  I would caution against completing the reservations for friends.

PLEASE ENTER YOUR NAME AS IT IS LISTED ON YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE

Vacation Envy International will only research the passport and Visa requirements for US citizens, therefore, we are unable to accept reservations for non-US citizens.

All vacation packages require a passport and sometimes a VISA.  If a VISA is required, everyone will purchase the VISA at the arrival airport.  You do not need a passport to book this trip now, but you MUST have a passport at least 5 MONTHS BEFORE the departure date.  Failure to have the passport will likely result in cancellation of your flight reservation.  You will then be required to purchase your own airfare.  Your invoice will be updated accordingly.
