Dear Mr. Haelam,
With reference to your trip it will be necessary
for you to obtain special endorsements at the Passport
Office in reapect of all those countries you will be visiting
which are outside Europe and the British Empire and with
particular reference to regulations 6 and 7 on the last
page of the passport.
Therefore the list of special endorsements required
is as follows
Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Dutch ast Indies.
Furthermore it may be necessary to have special
endorsements for Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan but the Passport Office will
tell you if this is necessary or not.
You will also require special endorsements for
Arabia. *c believe it is necessary to have separate endorsements
for the different parts of Arabia, therefore, you will
definitely want one for Bahrein and if you are going there
you will also want one for Koweit.
For certain of the countries you will also require
visas these being as follows
Kgypt - 10 gold francs
Syria - (obtained at French Legation) 50 francs.
Iraq - visa 10 gold flancs.
Iran - vis© 8 /- and two photographs are required
with application.
In some cases medical certificates are also required
when applying for visas for Iran. Therefore when you make
the necessary application please take this matter up as we do
not want any delay to occur on this point. When you arrive
in Iran the Police must be notified as to your residence within
48 hours and you have to report personnaly within 8 days to
obtain "permis de r>ejour rt and four photographs are required.
Therefore, we have increased the order for photographs
from six to twelve copies.
You will want also visas costing 10 gold francs each
for the various places visited in Arabia and these visas
for Arabia are all issued by the British Passport Office.
Therefore/
