Your failure to have proper visas and/or passport will likely result in you not being able to leave a country or enter a destination and no refund will be available in any such case and Sagres Vacations will have no liability in such case.

Participants are solely responsible for ensuring their passports are up to date, do not expire for at least 6 months after the trip return date (a requirement to enter many countries), have two completely blank pages (for some countries) and have all necessary visas. We recommend that you keep a copy of your scanned passport (photograph page) on your email while traveling.
