Passports & Visas
The UK Passport Agency gives details of what sort of passport you will need for your trip, and information on how to get a new passport or renew an old one. Currently this site does not provide an online service. Passport application forms must be printed off and posted.
You can obtain information on Visa requirements from the FCO (foreign and Commonwealth Office) or the World Travel Guide or from the embassy or consul of the countries you wish to visit. .
Travel Insurance
Never travel abroad without insurance. Your credit card accident cover, home insurance, or private health cover are unlikely to give adequate cover for travel insurance. The cost of policies varies widely. You are under no obligation to book your insurance with your travel agent or tour operator so shop around to find a good price and the right product - bearing in mind that a cheaper policy is likely to provide less cover.
Make sure that your policy covers you for the following:
• comprehensive medical, hospitalisation and repatriation cover
• personal accident - money paid on death or permanent disability
• personal liability - for injury or damage to others and their property
• all activities - including any hazardous sports you plan to participate in
• possessions cover, including money and documents to specified limit
• legal expenses - to help you pursue compensation for damages in the event of personal injury
More on selecting the right Travel insurance policy
Your policy should cover the whole
period of time you plan to be away. Carefully check all the conditions and exclusions.
If you are in any doubt, contact your insurer to find out exactly what cover you
have. Disclose any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect a possible claim.
Some insurance companies insist that you call their assistance company as soon as possible after a problem arises, so ensure that you take your policy number and the 24-hour emergency number with you. Be sure to keep as much paperwork as possible - tickets, receipts, medical bills, police reports etc - as evidence to help prove that what you're claiming for actually happened.
