This was correct at a stricter time; I have spoken to our visa team and they have advised that it is not a problem.

As long as they can see your eyes clearly, everything should be okay.

Feel free to take a set of photos without glasses if you want- there's no harm.

Kind Regards,

Mildred.

Thanks Mildred for checking this out for me and for your quick reply.

As it's nearly April do you have an update on the Making River Cruise (November 2017) numbers please?  (I'm trying not to ask more than once a month!!)

Also do you know how many travellers are needed for it to get the green light?

Thanks for all your help

Rose

Good Morning Rose,

You are very welcome.

There are currently 12 travellers booked on this tour. We are feeling positive about this tour going ahead.

We usually take up to 30 travellers on a tour but there is no specific number for a specific tour to be given a green light.

Kind Regards,

Mildred.
