Travel Tips

|
|
- Check the latest travel advice for your destination and subscribe
to receive free e-mail notification each time the travel advice for your destination
is updated.
- Take out appropriate travel insurance to cover hospital treatment,
medical evacuation and any activities, including adventure sports, in which you
plan to participate.
- Before travelling overseas register your travel and contact details
online or at the local Australian embassy, high commission or consulate once you
arrive, so we can contact you in an emergency.
- Obey the law. Consular assistance cannot override local laws, even
where local laws appear harsh or unjust by Australian standards.
- Check to see if you require visas for the country or countries
you are visiting or transiting. Be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry.
- Make copies of your passport details, insurance policy, travellers
cheques, visas and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in a separate place to the
originals and leave a copy with someone at home.
- Check with health professionals for information on recommended
vaccinations or other precautions and find out about overseas laws on travelling
with medicines.
- Make sure your passport has at least six months validity and carry
additional copies of your passport photo with you in case you need a replacement
passport while overseas.
- Leave a copy of your travel itinerary with someone at home and
keep in regular contact with friends and relatives while overseas.
- Before departing Australia check whether you are regarded as a national of the country
you intend to visit. Research whether holding dual nationality has any implications
for your travel.
