Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your visit.

You must fill in an entry and exit form online before your trip to get a QR code.

You may be refused entry if you do not have proof of a return or onward ticket.

You can pay to extend your tourist visit for up to 120 days total.

Children aged 17 and under travelling alone may have specific requirements to check with authorities.

You must declare any goods that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty upon entry.

Be alert to drive-by robberies from motorcyclists who may snatch bags from pedestrians or through car windows at traffic lights.

Avoid wearing expensive jewellery, carrying large amounts of cash, and leaving bags unattended on chairs in restaurants and bars.

Report any crime, including sexual assault, to the local authorities before you leave the country so they can investigate.

Always carry copies of the photo page of your passport and your entry stamp with you for identification.

Check safety standards and ensure you are insured for activities like water sports, quad biking, or horse riding, as providers may not meet UK standards.

Keep your payment card in view when paying to avoid cloning, or consider paying in cash.

Use authorised airport or hotel taxi services, or book from a registered provider, rather than using poorly maintained vehicles or risky motorbike taxis.
