- Check the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice before
travelling.
- Get adequate travel insurance including medical cover.
- Ensure you have enough money for the duration of your stay.
- Keep belongings in a safe place; eg hotel safe.
- Don’t have any involvement with drugs. Penalties can be severe.
- Leave a photocopy of travel insurance and policy documents with
relatives in the UK. Enter next of kin details into the back of your
passport.
- Consider an enduring power of attorney to allow relatives to act on
your behalf; ie to access bank accounts, or make a decision about your
care, should it become necessary.
- Carry photo ID other than that of a passport as passports are easily lost or stolen.
