Travel documents & requirements
Four things to prepare before departure. Tap one for a step-by-step guide.
Applies to: British Summer School · Family Summer Camp
Valid passportBefore registering
We recommend a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the return date. Every other document depends on it, so check it first. Every traveller, including children.
How to do it
- 1Check the expiry date of every traveller's passport.
- 2If it needs renewing, book an appointment with the Population and Immigration Authority as early as possible - appointments can take weeks in summer.
- 3Send us a clear colour copy of the passport's photo page.
UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)At least 3 weeks before
Israeli passport holders don't need a visa for a short study visit, but every traveller - including children - must have an ETA before flying. Every traveller, including children.
How to do it
- 1Download the official UK ETA app, or apply on GOV.UK.
- 2Scan the passport in the app and take a photo of the traveller's face. A parent can apply on the child's behalf.
- 3Answer the eligibility questions and pay the fee by card.
- 4A decision usually arrives by email within 3 working days. The ETA is linked to the passport electronically - send us a copy of the approval email.
Good to know
- Valid for 2 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
- You must travel on the same passport used in the application.
- Apply only through the official site or app, and avoid third-party sites that charge extra fees.

Travel & medical insuranceAt least 2 weeks before
Travel insurance with medical cover is required for every participant for the whole program, and isn't included in the program price. Every participant.
How to do it
- 1Buy a travel insurance policy from any insurer, or extend your existing policy to cover travel abroad.
- 2Make sure it covers the full dates, from departure day to return day.
- 3Check that it includes medical expenses, hospitalisation and emergency evacuation abroad.
- 4Send us a copy of the policy in English at least two weeks before departure.
Good to know
- Declare any existing medical condition or regular medication to the insurer.

Notarized parental authorization for travelAt least 2 weeks before
An English document signed by both parents before a notary, authorizing their child to travel with the GoGlobal team. Every participant under 18 who is not travelling with both parents.
How to do it
- 1We send you a ready-made English template.
- 2Fill in the child's full name and passport number, both parents' details, the destination and dates, and consent to emergency medical treatment.
- 3Both parents sign in front of a notary. If one parent is abroad, they can sign before a notary or consulate there.
- 4Hand the original to us: the child travels with the original and we keep a copy.
Good to know
- In cases of sole custody, attach the relevant legal document instead of the second parent's signature.
- On the Family Camp, a child travelling with only one parent, or without parents, also needs this authorization.
