Mandatory Requirements

What riders, car guests / drivers, and pillions must arrange from their side before departure. GeoMoto verifies documents in your Document Center; you remain responsible for obtaining them on time.

Everyone (riders, drivers & pillions)

  • Passport — valid at least 6 months beyond your return date; upload a clear photo-page copy
  • Visa & entry documents — for every country on the itinerary (if required). Visa requirements are subject to change; you must obtain the appropriate visas and travel documents before departure
  • Travel insurance — comprehensive cover for medical treatment, emergency evacuation / repatriation, and trip cancellation / interruption; proof required before departure
  • Flights — international (and connecting) flights to and from the tour meeting / end points, unless your confirmation expressly includes them
  • Personal photo — clear head-and-shoulders photo for trip and border records
  • Emergency contact — accurate next-of-kin details in your booking
  • Document uploads — complete verification items in the Document Center by the deadlines we send
