A little preparation before international travel can help you avoid unnecessary problems. Checking your documents, travel arrangements and destination requirements in advance can make your journey more organised.
Check your passport and visa
Before travelling, check your passport validity and confirm that you have the appropriate visa or travel authorisation if one is required.
Make sure your travel documents are accessible and that the information on your bookings matches your documents.
Review your travel arrangements
Confirm your flight or transport details, accommodation and other important bookings before departure.
Keep confirmation details accessible so you can refer to them during your journey.
Check travel insurance
Travel insurance can provide useful protection against certain unexpected situations during international travel. Check the coverage and conditions of your policy before departure.
