Hi all,we are thinking of going to goa end of next year or beginning of year after but, we are unsure about visas etc, as friends of ours said they had quite a bit of bother getting theirs this year. Is this always the case or is it possibly just a one off? I have wanted to go to goa for several years now and due to a heart condition I was unable to fly that far but, now I have been given the green light by doctors I would really love to go.
Also which injections do we need to get? I know it`s a long way off till we would be going but, I like to know what I have to do well in advance. Would go next year if we had not already booked for other places before doctors said all okay now.
Thanks in advance Jacqui
Visa problems sound worse than they actually are, don't let that put you off!
As far as vaccinations etc, just pop into your local GP surgery and the nurse will be able to tell you exactly what you need. Nothing dramatic though!!

Thank`s for the quick reply. Jacqui
Hi Jacqui,
The visa 'problems' now seem to be sorted out.
We sent our applications to HCI London on 10th December and they were back with us on 19th December. This was slightly quicker than last year.
Do your research, make your plans (this is half the fun), see your GP or nurse, book your holiday, send off for visas (they are valid for 6 months so you can apply early) and enjoy the anticipation of the trip.

Thanks Peter, I have been reading through lots of posts on here and they are really helpfull. Jacqui
Jacqui, keep a close eye on here and the HCI visa site as things can change at the drop of a hat. There has been some suggestion that the HCI may only issue 3 month tourist visas in a tit for tat measure due to our governments changes to immigration rules here. There are indications that in a few cases they have already started to do so. However, do not worry - just don't apply too far ahead of your holiday. I do hope you enjoy Goa when you get there - we all do
