Documents Needed

What Every Teen Needs Before Travelling

To guarantee a smooth, safe, and compliant journey, all participants must submit the necessary documents before departure. This requirement applies to travellers of all nationalities departing from the UAE. Our purpose is straightforward: clarity, safety, and peace of mind for every family.

Passport Requirements

All participants must hold a valid passport that meets the following conditions:

Valid for at least 6 months after the trip ends
In good physical condition
Exactly matching the name on the flight ticket
Containing blank pages for entry stamps or visas

Parents are responsible for checking the passport’s validity before submitting travel documents.

UAE Residency (For Teens Living in Dubai)

Families must ensure:

Validity of the UAE Residence Visa during the trip
Validity of the Emirates ID
Availability of a re-entry permit (especially during renewal periods)

Teens with dual nationality must travel with the same passport used for booking.

Visa Requirements (Varies by Nationality)

Visa rules vary based on:

The participant’s nationality
The destination country
The type of entry (visa-free / eVisa / visa on arrival)

We offer guidance tailored to each destination, but each family must verify the visa requirements that apply to their teen.

NOMAD cannot be held responsible for denied entry or incorrect visa applications.

Travel Insurance

All participants are covered by NOMAD’s group travel insurance, which includes:

Medical assistance
Emergency care
Repatriation

Additional optional coverage might be advised depending on the participant’s profile or medical history.

Medical Certificate of Fitness

A signed document from the family doctor confirming:

The teen is fit for group travel
No contagious condition
Ability to participate in activities
No medical contraindication to living in a group environment

This certificate must be dated within 6 months of departure.

Swimming Ability Test (if applicable)

Required for any programme involving:

swimming
water sports
beach and sea activities
pool access
snorkelling

Parents must provide official confirmation that the teen can:

float
swim a short distance
feel confident in the water

This test must be dated within 6 months of departure and is for safety purposes only, not for performance or skills evaluation.

Parental Consent & Emergency Information

Before departure, families must submit electronically:

Signed parental authorisation
Emergency contacts
Information on allergies, medication, or medical conditions
Copies of essential documents (passport, Emirates ID, insurance, etc.)

This ensures safety and quick communication if needed.

Important Legal Notices

To ensure clarity and compliance:

Families must confirm passport and visa validity.
NOMAD offers guidance but cannot guarantee immigration approvals.
Incorrect documents may lead to denied boarding, for which the parent is responsible.
All medical information must be accurate and truthful to ensure proper supervision.

Our Commitment

These requirements are meant to ensure a secure, well-organised, and smooth travel experience for every participant. By preparing the correct documents in advance, families help us create a safe environment where teenagers can explore confidently and enjoy every moment.
