The requirements of travelling internationally
How many times have you heard someone ask you something like: ‘what should I pack?’ ‘What clothes should I take?’ or even ‘I don’t want to over-pack’?! When traveling abroad, packing light can save you time and hassle. This is especially true when traveling internationally – you may have to go through security checks at airports, customs, etc. Packing light helps you get through these checks faster, saving you valuable time. But packing light does require some forethought. As you prepare for your trip, try to figure out the items you’ll need, such as clothing, toiletries, medicine, electronics, personal care products, and travel documents. Let’s see below the requirements for traveling internationally.
Passport and visa
Most international travelers will generally carry a passport (with enough validity before departure). A passport that allows multiple entries into neighboring countries is also advisable. Besides, it is always better if you keep photocopies of important documents in your contact list, particularly those related to credit cards.
Luggage
Make sure you are carrying the right luggage size. If you feel that your baggage weight exceeds what you usually carry, then consider downsizing. It is also advantageous to select a bag with wheels so you can easily move around while on board. Also, make sure your bags/suitcases do not exceed more than 20kgs each. You might be required to pay additional fees when exceeding the limit.
Clothes and shoes
You must remember the weather changes and the temperature differences between regions vary significantly! So, choose appropriate clothing depending upon the season. To make things easier, bring comfortable but stylish clothes which are suitable for different climates.
