"Visas may be required by British passport holders for visits to non-EU countries, or for visits to EU countries of more than three months, or if you have a criminal record. Immigration, visa and entry conditions may apply to other nationalities travelling overseas. You should be aware that it is at the discretion of the authorities of your destination whether to issue you with a visa or not, and Escape Worldwide cannot accept any responsibility should you have to cancel your holiday due to a visa refusal."
