Government Tax
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a compulsory Government levy of, currently, 17.5%. It is subject to change and will be charged at the rate current on the day payment is completed. Delegates from overseas may be entitled to claim back the VAT paid in the UK on many of their costs, including hotel accommodation etc. Local tax offices will be able to advise.

Passport, Visas and Insurance
You will need a valid passport to enter Scotland and any other part of the United Kingdom.
Please check with your travel agent or embassy about visa requirements. (Visas are not needed for most countries).
Applying for a visa for entry into the United Kingdom is a relatively straightforward procedure. Only visitors from "visa national" countries are required to obtain entry clearance before travelling to the UK. The list of "visa-national" countries is determined by the British Government and is subject to change.
Your travel agent should be able to advise you on your visa requirements.
For up to date information, contact your nearest British Mission (British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission) or check the Foreign and Commonwealth Office web site at http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk.
Visa Sections at British Missions are busy, especially during peak periods, e.g. in the run up to the British summer. We recommend that you submit your application in good time to ensure that it is processed well before your planned departure.
Upon request, the IFLA 2002 National Organising Committee will issue an official letter of invitation to facilitate visa applications. Tick the box on the application form.
Staying longer?
We offer a range of extended tours customised for IFLA 2002 delegates and Accompanying Persons.

Whilst many of these start in Edinburgh, David Urquhart Travel offer an extensive choice of tours departing from Glasgow. Visit: www.davidurquharttravel.co.uk
