Visas, passports and money

  • check Make sure that you have the correct visas for the countries you are visiting and that your passport is valid for the right amount of time - Foreign & Commonwealth Office travel advice can usually tell you this.
  • check Check that your passport is still valid for a minimum of six months at return date. Make a note of your passport number, date and place of issue. Also, make a photocopy of the last page to leave with family or friends.
  • Take photocopies of your passport and other important documents - keep these separate from the originals when you travel and/or store them online using ‘My Online Safe', which allows you to store details and images of your important documents and valuables in a ‘secure online safe’. Keep your passport in the hotel safe and carry a photocopy with you.
  • Be sure to complete the emergency contact details in your passport. This will make it much easier for the Foreign Commonwealth Office to contact someone on your behalf if necessary.
  • Tell a relative or friend where you are going and for how long for, give them some details of your itinerary if possible and an emergency telephone number / email address.
  • Take enough money for your holiday and some back-up funds in a mix of cash and travellers cheques. Make a note of the cheques’ numbers before you go.
  • Before you travel, find out how your travellers cheques and credit cards can be replaced if lost.
  • Check the expiry dates of your credit cards before you travel and make a note of their numbers.
  • Take another form of photographic identification.
