Documents Pack extra passport size photographs in case you
need to get a duplicate passport made or need a visa extension.
- Carry copies of birth certificates, passport and visas in
case you lose your originals.
- Why be flummoxed by tricky currency conversion every time
you are shopping abroad? Carry a currency conversion cheat-sheet cut to credit card size
and slip it into your wallet to check discreetly.
- Carry your State and International driving license if you
plan to drive in a foreign country.
- Money, Traveller's Cheques, and credit cards should be
divided into several portions. Large bills, cheques, and at least one credit card should
be kept on the person in a money pouch or belt that is not readily accessible or obvious.
- Never carry large amounts of cash. Use Traveller's Cheques
or credit cards for most purchases, but first make sure they are accepted in the areas you
will be visiting.
Health Documents
If you’re coming from a yellow fever area,
be sure you have your health certificate.
Some countries make it mandatory for you to have travel
medical insurance to enable you to get a visa - check with your travel agent on this.
Insurance It’s always a good idea to be insured when
you’re travelling. The cover depends on the premium you pay but basic areas covered
include medical costs, lost baggage and passports, losses incurred due to flight delays,
cancellations etc, personal liability and legal fees.
When travelling abroad, check with your medical insurance
provider on how to reach a representative while you are abroad and how to obtain
compensation for any care received.
Seek professional advice from an insurance broker before you
buy travel insurance. As long as your insurance agent understand the nature of your
travel, they will draw up a comprehensive policy meeting all your requirements and
covering all the risks you could possibly be exposed to.
If you rent a car, it’s a good idea to buy liability
insurance.
