Your approval, then your flight clearance

Required to apply

A clear passport copy and the country you will travel from.

Confirmed ticket (optional when you apply)

Attach it if you have one, with your departure date. If you do not, ask us on WhatsApp for a ticket quote. You can apply without a ticket.

Without a confirmed ticket, the security approval is provisional. The confirmed ticket is required to issue the circulation notice and send the telegram.

We arrange the circulation notice 3 days before the flight, to help avoid problems at travel. Uploading a ticket does not mean the notice or telegram has been issued.

Security approval is not entry permission
