Visa Appliations

Passport / Visa Requirements:
Visitors from most commonwealth countries, most Western European countries, Japan and the USA do not require visas. Volunteers from these countries will be issued with a free entry permit valid for 90 days on your arrival. Volunteers not entitled to an entry permit will have to organise a visa before your arrival- which is free.
