Terms of Use

By placing an order with WorldStrides and CIBT, you agree to the following terms and conditions. WorldStrides and CIBT will make every effort to provide you with accurate information and to obtain the travel visa, passport or other documents required for your international trip. From time to time, consulates may change their requirements without advance notification. In the event that this occurs, you will be contacted immediately to obtain any new documents required for the successful completion of your travel document needs. Processing of travel visas often requires several days, and in some instances can take several weeks. It is the participants responsibility to submit all required documentation to WorldStrides and CIBT prior to the deadline communicated by WorldStrides and CIBT; failure to do so may result in the participants inability to travel. You are responsible to verify that all required travel documents have been obtained, that the personal details therein are accurate and that your travel documents are valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. The government agency issuing a visa or passport (issuing authority) has complete discretion over its processes and may reject a travel document application for any reason or no reason. The issuing authority will make the final determination as to the type of visa or passport, how quickly it will be issued and for what duration it will be issued. Prior to approval, the issuing authority may ask for additional documentation. Any fees paid to a government agency are non-refundable. Please note that, even when a visa is issued, a traveler may be denied entry since in each country the local immigration officials make the final entry decision. It may be possible to obtain a required visa upon arrival at some of these destinations. Significant restrictions often apply and requirements for entry vary. Check with the local consulate for details. Inquire with your airline if boarding is allowed without a visa. Immigration officials in the destination country can refuse entry to anyone for any reason. WorldStrides and CIBT accept no liability for travelers electing to obtain on-arrival visas. WorldStrides and CIBT recommend that participants purchase travel insurance in the event that you are unable to travel with the group. WorldStrides programs are generally non-refundable. Purchasing trip insurance may help protect your trip investment in the event you are denied entry into a destination country. In the event that you are denied a visa, your WorldStrides Account Manager may attempt to recoup funds on your behalf; however, it is not guaranteed. Please reference the terms and conditions that you acknowledged when registering to travel with WorldStrides. Liability for any claims, causes of action or damages that you may assert shall be limited to the lesser of the travel document service fees paid to WorldStrides or $500.
