Here is a small checklist for travelling abroad. Before embarking on a trip, you need to check and organise certain things. Sometimes you may need to plan a few months in advance, especially if you are travelling long distances or to more unusual destinations. Here's a checklist of things that can be useful to check well in advance.
Checklist for travelling abroad
- Is your passport valid? If not - make a new one at the Police Passport Office. When travelling to certain countries, your passport must also be valid for another 6 months after your return date. Check the rules of the country you are travelling to and what is written in your passport.
- Do you need a visa? If so, apply for a visa at the country's embassy.
- Are any vaccinations needed? Read up online and visit a vaccination centre if necessary.
- Do you need any prescription medication? Make sure you have enough or make an appointment with your doctor to get your prescriptions on time. If you are travelling with a narcotic drug, you may need a certificate from the pharmacy.
- Do you have a good insurance policy? Check with your insurance company if your insurance covers your needs. If you are travelling within the EU, you can also order a European Health Insurance Card.
- What is the security situation in the country you are visiting? Checking UD travel information about the country in question, so that you know if there is anything special you need to look out for.

Tip! Check the validity of your debit/credit card. If there is only about 1 month left on the validity, you may find that they do not accept the card. I have experienced this myself ...
