Customs and borders on a private jet: what to know

Flying private does not exempt you from formalities. Each passenger must be able to enter the destination country.

Published

Documents

  • Each passenger must have an ID or passport valid for the destination.
  • Some countries require a visa or travel authorisation depending on nationality.

Schengen or not

Between Schengen countries, checks are reduced. For Switzerland, the UK, Türkiye or the UAE, checks apply.

Pets and goods

Pets and some items have their own rules. See our page on pets on board.

Our role

We remind you of the formalities to check. Each passenger remains responsible for their documents.

FAQ

Do I need a visa?

It depends on nationality and destination.

Is there a security check?

Yes, but faster than at a commercial airport.

What if a document has expired?

Renew it before departure: a passenger without a valid document cannot travel.
