NOTICES
Travelling to or via the US?
British travellers must register their travel details on the US' Department of Homeland Security website, ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. This must be done prior to travel, preferably a minimum of 72 hours before departure. We strongly recommend that you carry a copy of your ESTA clearance as an airline may refuse you to board your flight if you cannot provide evidence that clearance to enter the US has been granted. This also applies to those with a valid US visa. Further information can be found on FCO Travel Advice.
Register with us
We are encouraging ALL British Nationals travelling and living in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to register with LOCATE, even for short trips. This measure will help us to give you a better service.
