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
1. 1Check the expiry date of every traveller's passport.
2. 2If it needs renewing, book an appointment with the Population and Immigration Authority as early as possible - appointments can take weeks in summer.
3. 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
1. 1Download the official UK ETA app, or apply on GOV.UK.
2. 2Scan the passport in the app and take a photo of the traveller's face. A parent can apply on the child's behalf.
3. 3Answer the eligibility questions and pay the fee by card.
4. 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
1. 1Buy a travel insurance policy from any insurer, or extend your existing policy to cover travel abroad.
2. 2Make sure it covers the full dates, from departure day to return day.
3. 3Check that it includes medical expenses, hospitalisation and emergency evacuation abroad.
4. 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.
- Medical costs in the US are very high - choose a higher level of medical cover for New York.
- We recommend adding cover for luggage, trip cancellation and sports activities.
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
1. 1We send you a ready-made English template.
2. 2Fill in the child's full name and passport number, both parents' details, the destination and dates, and consent to emergency medical treatment.
3. 3Both parents sign in front of a notary. If one parent is abroad, they can sign before a notary or consulate there.
4. 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.
