Travel Documentation [top]
 
The following information applies to U.S.citizens only. Those travelling on other than a U.S. passport are required to contact the embassies or consulates of the countries to be visited for further information and special requirements.

A valid passport is required for all air and sea travel to or from Canada and the U.S. effective January 8, 2007. This is a change from prior travel requirements and does affect any U.S. citizen entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere. This new requirement will also affect Canadian citizens that travel by air to embark in U.S. ports. Expired passports are not acceptable and passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the scheduled return date of your vacation.
 
Passport and Visa [top]
 

Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the scheduled return date of your vacation. Bring with you a photocopy of the pages of your passport that contain your personal information and extra passport photographs. These are useful in the event of loss.

Visas Required
For a U.S. citizen holding a U.S. passport, the visa requirements listed below apply. We will send you the necessary visa application forms, instructions on how to fill them out, and the amount of the visa processing fees approximately 100 days prior to your departure.
  • Egypt—visa required: If you are taking the optional extension to Jordan you will need a multiple entry visa, or you will be charged an additional U.S. $15 upon re-entry into Egypt.
  • Jordan (optional extension)—visa required: This is only required if you are taking the optional Petra & Amman, Jordan extension. A single entry visa will suffice. In addition, you will be required to pay a Jordan airport departure tax of approximately U.S. $7.50 on site.
Note: It is not recommended by Vantage to obtain Egyptian visas on arrival, as long delays may cause passengers to miss their airport or hotel transfers.
