Travel Requirements

Working draft. This page is being reviewed and will be finalised before the first booking. It is guidance, not legal advice.

Before you book

Your passport should be valid for at least six months after the date you return, with blank pages for stamps. The name on the ticket must match the passport.

Health

A yellow fever certificate may be required depending on the countries you pass through, and some travellers need malaria advice for parts of the region. Check with a travel clinic before you book and tell us about any medication you take.

Money and cards

Malaysia uses the ringgit and Singapore uses the Singapore dollar. Cards are widely accepted in both cities; carry some cash for markets, hawker centres and small shops.

What to pack

• Light clothing for heat and humidity, with a layer for air-conditioned coaches and rooms.
• Comfortable walking shoes. City days involve several kilometres on foot.
• A rain layer; short heavy showers are common.
• Clothing that covers shoulders and knees for temples.
• A UK-style plug adapter, sunscreen and a refillable water bottle.

On the ground

Days are planned around the heat. The guide carries water, plans rest stops and can move a walking section to the morning if the group needs it. Tell the guide about any mobility or health needs before the trip starts.

Entry rules, health requirements and airline policies change. We confirm the current checklist with you before travel, and the decision on entry always rests with the immigration authority.
