Some information that you should have about Foreign Exchange Payment
All the information related to the Tour is disseminated via SMS (Short messaging services) and e-mails to the guests. The time to deliver the SMS is dependent on several factors such as upon the traffic on the mobile network and whether the guest's mobile phone is within reach and switched on. Orient is not a mobile network operator and does not guarantee the delivery of SMS text messages.
The guests confirm that they have provided an accurate mobile number for receiving SMS and that they are the owners or the legitimate users of the mobile device or phone. The guests also acknowledge that using another person's mobile phone or providing inaccurate mobile phone number or the unauthorized use of mobile phone number for receiving the SMS, may entail disclosure of guest's confidential information which disclosure shall be at the sole risk of the guest.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the Guest to hold valid travel documents and statutory clearances, to enable the Guest to travel on the tour such as passports, visas, confirmed air tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other certificates including immigration clearance etc.
For travelling abroad, all guests including children must be in possession of a machine-readable passport valid for minimum of 180 days from their Tour return date along with applicable Visas. Please cross check all particulars of your passport including your name/ address/validity/expiry date and Blank pages for Visas as per requirement. All the guests booking tours for the European sector should ensure that the Passport validity is for a maximum of 10 years. Please ensure that the passports are well maintained and have sufficient blank pages that are serially numbered and not damaged, stapled or torn for recording stamping of visas of various countries. Handwritten passports are not allowed. If your Tour gets cancelled due to any passport related issues, you will be liable to pay cancellation charges.
A Visa is a mandatory document that permits the guest to enter another country. For tourists, generally a short term visa is granted by the respective consulate. All the guests be required to take the appropriate visas for going on the tour. We are visa facilitators and assist you for preparing Visa documents, submitting them & collecting the passports from the consulate. The Consulate may call you for a personal interview even after all relevant documents have been submitted. Orient is not responsible for any kind of error caused by the consulate. The decision to issue Visa is at the sole discretion of the respective consulate and we do not have a hold on the decision of the consulate and cannot object to it either. You agree not to proceed legally against us for such rejection of visas, unless there is a manifest error on our part. We would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned embassy or consulate.
As stated, Orient is just a facilitator for procuring visas. We will not be able to represent any visa issue, either pre or post submission of documents or after issuance of visa. We request you to cross-check the visas copies and intimate us about any discrepancies well in time. Sometimes it may happen that the Visa granted for a specific country has a longer validity than passport, in such a case the guest has to carry both old as well as new passports. In case the guest has a valid visa on his old passport, he needs to check and verify whether he is required to transfer such old visa on the current passport.
If you already possess a visa or wish to do the visa (s) on your own, you would be entitled for appropriate reduction/ refund of actual visa (s) cost and the portion of charges attributable to our service charges will still have to be paid by you. It is your responsibility to promptly furnish all documents required for application of your visas well in advance to us as visa processing can take quite a long time because of the over-cautious approaches adopted by embassies and consulates due to security concerns. Sometimes due to load factor at the embassies and consulates, the Visa processing takes longer time and in few cases Visa is not granted before tour departure or it is delayed. In such cases Orient, as a facilitator, shall not be responsible for any consequences and/or liable for any refund, the guest shall have to bear all the cancellation and re-booking charges for the next tour. Documents required for application of Visa vary country wise. Our Travel Adviser shares a complete list of Documents with the guest on their registered e-mail ID at the time of booking itself.
Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are incomplete.
Holding a valid a visa only allows a guest to enter the respective country's immigration point. Granting or rejecting the permission to enter a particular country is solely upon the discretion of the immigration authority. Sometimes a guest may be deported/ interrogated/ and may be held back by the immigration authorities for a longer span than the usual time. In such a case, the guest missing out on the itinerary program is not Orient's liability. All the Expenses incurred by guests while they are held back by the immigration authorities or deportation costs would be borne by the guest and Orient shall not be held liable for the same.
