Stay safe overseas
– know before you go
Whatever your reason for travelling abroad, you’re sure to want a trouble free trip.
Many of the things that often go wrong for travellers can be prevented or made less
stressful by taking a few simple precautions. So it makes sense to spend a little
time getting prepared before you travel – you could save yourself a lot of problems
later on.
With this in mind, we are working with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
to help British nationals stay safe abroad. The FCO website (www.fco.gov.uk/travel) offers straightforward travel advice,
top tips and up to date country information to help you plan your holiday.
Tips include:
- Make sure you have valid travel insurance, even if you’re only planning a short
trip.
- Visit your GP at least 6 weeks before you travel to get any vaccinations you might
need.
- Read up on your destination, including local laws and customs.
- Make photocopies of your passport, visas and insurance details and leave a copy
with a relative or friend at home.
You can also find handy checklists to use before you set off and whilst you’re away.
Plus it’s worth reading up on what the local British Consulate can do to help you
if you run into problems abroad – and what they can’t do.
For all this and more information, visit the FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk/travel. Or if you prefer, call the 24 hour
FCO travel advice line on 0845 850 2829
