Pre Holiday activities

Thomas Cook, our travel agent, gave us a list of items to get ready with:
1. 3 sets of photographs, each different for each VISA, namely U.K, Swiss and Chengen
2. 3 years IT clearance certificates
3. Proof of movable and immovable assets
4. 6 months bank statement from the bankers
5. Of course, the passports, with 6 months validity

OOOh, so much for a person to travel on a holiday.

Once these were done, we had to go to the U.K consul for getting our finger prints recorded.
The U.K Visa took about 5 days. Then followed the Swiss and the Chengen, which were obtained through Mumbai.

The final clearances came, on 30th May, 2 says prior to our travel, and we got our Foreign exchange, some snacks for the journey ahead and got ready.
