The Traveller's Checklist
Several weeks before you plan to leave:
Learn about your destination - its laws and customs.
Check the climate and organize suitable clothing.
Learn some useful foreign phrases - It's not only polite but also the local people will respect you for it!
Consider your personal safety on your trip and check the latest travel advice.
See your doctor or Travel Health Centre and have any recommended vaccinations. (Be aware that some vaccinations can take up to six months to become fully effective.)
If you already have a passport, make sure it is valid for at least six months from the planned date of entry to another country.
If you need a new passport, apply for it in plenty of time.
If you have a disability, check the facilities of places you wish to visit.
Book your ticket(s) and arrange travel insurance.
Use the link above to find out what visas you need and obtain them with plenty of time to spare.
Check to ensure that any medication you normally carry is legal in your destination.
Double-check that you have adequate health and travel insurance.
Book a hotel - at least for the first night of your arrival.
Get an adaptor plug for electrical gear you plan to take.
Check what your Duty-Free allowance is if you plan on shopping abroad.
Organize your travellers cheques, credit cards, ATM cards and try to obtain some of the local foreign currency in cash - before you leave.
If you're taking your mobile phone, check with your telephone company if both your GSM and SIM card will work.
In the days just prior to your departure:
Re-check the current travel advice for all countries you plan to visit.
Re-confirm your reservations with your travel agent or the airline.
Double-check your travel documents.
Leave a copy of your itinerary, visa, passport photo page, credit card & travellers cheque details with family member or a friend. Also pack your own copy of these documents separately from your handbag or wallet. Just in case.
Label all your suitcases and cabin luggage clearly with your name and contact details.
And finally - Have a safe and great trip!
