What are the precautions for going abroad?

Friends who travel abroad, especially those who go abroad for the first time, will have a lot of doubts because of their lack of experience. When Bian Xiao went abroad for the first time, he encountered many unexpected things one after another, which were solved smoothly, and he had a lot of experience to share.

First of all, some necessary materials:

1. Passport: Let's not talk about this, just do it.

2. Visa: Passport processing is different in different countries.

There are visa-free ones, such as Jeju Island in Bali. Just fly directly. Landing visa, such as Nepal and Thailand, can go to the local area and then go through the visa formalities at the airport; If you have an e-visa, you can apply directly online, get an e-visa and print it out. It is worth mentioning that if you are traveling in several countries in succession, you can apply for a visa for the next country while traveling on the way, which is particularly convenient and flexible. When I was traveling abroad, it was like this. I temporarily decided to go to the next country, and then I can apply for an electronic visa directly online.

There is also the need for paper visas, and some even need to provide all kinds of property flow certificates, face-to-face visas and so on. These are more complicated. When going abroad for the first time, it is recommended to choose countries and regions with less difficulty in obtaining visas.

If you encounter difficulties, you can directly ask Almighty Bao for help.

In addition, some countries may need to book a hotel in advance to apply for a visa, so you can book a hotel with a full refund.

3. Air tickets/train tickets:

It's best to book a flight about a month in advance. Generally speaking, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. Those who want to travel abroad by international train also need to buy tickets in advance. When I went to Vietnam, I took the train from Nanning.

4. Credit card: Remember to apply for a visa/mastercard credit card before departure. Some ATMs in some countries and regions also support cash withdrawal by UnionPay's savings card, but you must apply for a credit card.

5. Cash: exchange a certain amount of currency/USD in the destination country. According to my experience, US dollars and British pounds are generally easier to exchange, so you can exchange some US dollars on your body first, and then exchange them into local currency in the destination country.

You need to make an appointment with the outlet in advance to exchange US dollars, and the appointment can be made on mobile banking.

Second, the need to print/copy materials:

Copy of passport

Copy of visa

Copy of air ticket

Copy of hotel reservation form (optional)

Generally speaking, when you enter the country, you will be required to show your exit/next country ticket. You can print it out first. Especially when you visit several countries in succession, you'd better print it out in advance, so as not to rush to the airport to find a copy shop.

Third, other precautions

Accommodation reservation: agoda/booking If you want to stay in B&B, then Airbnb.

When booking tickets on Agoda and Booking, look for one with high scores. Basically, the scores on these two softwares are very reliable.

Cats and eagles can do the same. Of course, if you don't like foreign software websites, there are also some popular places where you can use Ctrip to find hotels.

Travel insurance: AIA/Allianz/Ping An is optional. Personal advice, be sure to buy good insurance. If the budget is enough, you can buy something with a higher price and full service. In case of any accident, you can contact the embassy and insurance company for help.

Maps: Google Maps Championship, praise Google Maps, travel essential.

Transportation: Uber; ;

If you are going to Southeast Asia, it is really time-saving for Amway to download a taxi. Some grab boats can also ride motorcycles. In Cambodia, it is half cheaper to call a sudden car through grab than to stop it on the street.

Ola took a taxi. I called a taxi through ola in India.

Local catering recommendation: Catwalk Eagle; ; This is equivalent to domestic public comments on beehives and the like, which can basically meet the demand.

Flight information inquiry: vertical and horizontal travel; You can check all kinds of flights and whether they will be delayed.

Luggage weight/volume: This point is worth mentioning separately. I always carry a 50-liter backpack. Although I have taken many cheap flights, no one has ever asked me to weigh it. This backpack is also suitable for the luggage rack of an airplane, which can be used as your reference.

Most low-cost airlines have baggage weight restrictions, so you need to pay attention when buying air tickets. Overweight costs extra and is not cheap.

Necessary items: refer to the necessary items for domestic travel, and the items that need extra attention are plug types for different countries.
