Participants are responsible for ensuring that they meet all passport, visa, and health requirements for international travel.
Itinerary Flexibility & Force Majeure
While Passport Perspectives Abroad makes every effort to deliver the advertised seminar experience, itineraries are subject to change due to weather conditions, transportation delays, venue closures, or other unforeseen circumstances.
In the event of force majeure (e.g., natural disasters, strikes, political unrest, global pandemics), we reserve the right to modify or cancel part or all of a program. In such cases, we will offer alternate arrangements or apply funds to a future seminar when possible.
