Visitor Permits
Purchasing Permits
These can be purchased by selecting Buy Digital Permits and Bookings and selecting the relevant Visitor Permit option. These are divided into bundles of 850 hours and multiple bundles can be purchased at once by increasing the quantity.
Visitor permits reallocate based on the date and amount purchased in the previous year, so for example, if you were to purchase the maximum amount of bundles today, they would not be available again until this date the following year. You can view your purchase dates via the Payment History section of your account.
Please note: Visitor permits are set to expire after one year from the date of purchase. Any unused visitor permits will be removed from your account.
