What are the procedures for traveling abroad? What do you need to prepare for traveling abroad?

Traveling abroad is really easy and common for people nowadays. Now that everyone is rich, it is not enough to play in China. It is also a good choice to go abroad and see the outside world. So what do you need to prepare for traveling abroad in Europe?

Before departure

Know the destination country

Whether you choose a group tour or a self-help tour, for outbound travel, you must know the destination country or region before departure.

1) After determining the departure date, book flights, hotels, etc. And prepare clothes and other items according to the climate temperature during the tour.

2) Understand its unique customs, do as the Romans do and respect each other, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

3) Be a general tour guide to the destination country or region, and have a general understanding of the upcoming scenic spots or regions.

foreign currency

Before going abroad, I don't know what you think. Anyway, Bian Xiao thinks it's actually a cool process to exchange foreign currency! I don't know where to exchange foreign currency. Please read the following:

1) At present, the four major banks in China: China, agriculture, industry and construction can exchange foreign currencies. Among them, China Bank has the most convertible currencies, including: British pound, Hong Kong dollar, US dollar, Swiss franc, Singapore dollar, Philippine peso, Thai baht, New Zealand dollar and Korean won.

2) It should be noted that not all bank outlets can exchange foreign currency. In some cities, only some business halls can exchange foreign currency, so you need to call in advance for consultation. The procedure of foreign currency exchange is not complicated. After making an appointment, you can apply with your valid ID card, fill in relevant documents and pay cash.

3) If you find that there is not enough foreign currency after leaving the country, you can exchange or withdraw local currency at foreign airports, hotels, foreign currency exchange points, banks and some ATMs, but the exchange rate will be different. Therefore, Bian Xiao reminded me that I can exchange foreign currency in domestic banks as much as possible, because it is relatively the most cost-effective.

4) Pay attention to the RMB exchange rate, and suggest you go to the bank to exchange foreign currency 1~2 two weeks before your trip.

passport

The picture above shows a Thai visa.

Passports are equivalent to ID cards abroad. Can be directly issued by the exit-entry administration office (police station) where the account is located. China passport is a little red book, on which the visa certificate of overseas travel office will be affixed. The basic process of applying for a passport is (it may vary from place to place):

1) Get the application form from the local police station, the exit-entry administration department of the public security county bureau, and the participating travel agencies.

2) Bring my ID card and a color photo that meets the requirements, and fill in the original application form to the entry-exit administration department where the household registration is located. Passport approval, production and issuance time is 14 working days.

3) Passport should be submitted to 160 yuan. Later, I can collect my passport by paying in person or in person. Especially when you come to collect it yourself, you need to bring your ID card or household registration book and a receipt for your passport.

apply for a visa

Visa is a certificate for a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or its own citizens to enter and leave China, so it is necessary to apply to foreign embassies (consulates) in China. For people like us who go abroad to play, it is enough to apply for a tourist visa!

There are many things to prepare for applying for a visa. Generally speaking, you should pay attention to the following points:

1) We need to prepare a valid passport, two one-inch bareheaded photos, a visa application form, travel and stay expenses in China, proof of property guarantee or bank deposit (depending on national regulations), proof that there is no possibility of illegal stay, and a copy of the scheduled round-trip air ticket.

2) The required documents need to be prepared completely. Incomplete, will not be accepted;

3) All materials shall be originals with copies attached;

4) Don't use perjury or deception to obtain a visa, which may be refused or banned from entering the country forever;

5) Make clear the destination of outbound tourism and know it in advance. The difficulty of applying for a visa will also vary from country to country. Can you poke it if you are interested?

After departure

How to board the plane smoothly?

1, be sure to bring your ID card!

In fact, this is a cliche, but it is really important! In addition to the plane, now you have to show your ID card when you take the high-speed train or even the bus! Id card is really important! ! ! ! Of course, don't forget to bring your passport on international flights!

Check in 30 minutes before departure!

Flying is no better than taking a bus, but you can't fly when you show your ticket! Stop check-in 30 minutes before domestic flights take off and 45 minutes before international flights take off! So be sure to watch the time, arrive at the airport in advance and complete the boarding procedure! Bian Xiao suggested that domestic flights should arrive at the airport one hour in advance and international flights should be earlier, which is the safest.

The first step to the airport is to find the check-in counter!

When you arrive at the airport, you need to find the check-in counter first. It should be noted here that different airlines are at different counters. You can go through the big screen or directly ask the airport ground staff to find the corresponding counter to go through the check-in procedures, including: getting the boarding pass and checking the luggage.

Do you need to check your luggage?

1) Travel luggage is definitely indispensable. Domestic flight regulations: the total weight of luggage shall not exceed 5 kg, and the volume shall not exceed.

6x 12x 16.5 inches can be boarded directly (the situation may be different for each airline). Other baggage that can't be carried with you needs to be checked.

2) Are there any tourists ordering discounted air tickets with baggage allowance? If not, they can't move in. If you need to check in, you can buy the baggage allowance at the counter.

3) In addition, lighters, matches and various dangerous goods (such as fireworks knives, etc. ) it is completely forbidden to take it on the plane; The charging treasure can't be checked, but can only be carried with you, but only for charging treasures not exceeding 100Wh! Fees exceeding 100Wh~ 160Wh need to be carried on board with the permission of the airline! Boarding is not allowed if it exceeds 160Wh! In addition, each passenger is not allowed to carry more than two charging treasures!

4) According to domestic flight regulations, the maximum weight of checked baggage shall not exceed 50kg and the volume shall not exceed 40×60× 100 cm. When you go out, you should properly control the size of your luggage ~

5, domestic security, but very strict

When you have successfully checked in and checked your luggage, you can happily go to the boarding gate and wait for boarding! And before that! You have to go through a very strict security check!

1. It is common to take off your clothes and hats when you go through security. If you accidentally encounter strict security check, you may even take off your shoes! Just in case, try to choose the best-looking sweatshirts and socks inside, hahaha!

2. In addition, air tickets, certificates, mobile phones, laptops, umbrellas, and metal objects (such as keys) should also be taken out, put into the security box together with the clothes that have been taken off, and pass through the security instrument.

It should be noted here that water can't be taken on the plane. If you bring it, please choose to throw it away or drink it immediately! But some girls need to bring some items such as make-up water. According to the regulations of domestic flights, each piece of cosmetics is limited to one piece, and its container volume does not exceed 100 ml, so it needs to be put in a separate bag for opening inspection.

As for people, as usual, they are scanned by staff! To sum up, anyway, listen to the instructions of the ground staff and strictly abide by them, that's right!

Besides waiting for boarding quietly, we should also pay attention to personal qualities. After all, smoking, talking loudly and spitting are forbidden in public places!

6. If you have shopping needs, you can go to the nearby airport store, but you should also pay attention to the boarding time while shopping happily ~

7. Airlines may delay or cancel flights due to maintenance, flight deployment, business, crew, weather, emergencies, air traffic control, security check and other issues. Tourists should not be too impatient at this time. If you have any questions or needs, please ask the airport staff for help. If you don't get a satisfactory answer later, you can always call 1230 1.

8. After entering the cabin, take a seat according to the flight attendant's instructions and put your carry-on luggage in the overhead luggage compartment!

9. During take-off and landing, the plane will have some bumps. Visitors must fasten their seat belts in case of injury! Don't untie it at will during the journey, and don't walk around the cabin at will!

10, no smoking in the cabin!

1 1, according to the flight attendant's request, turn off the mobile phone and other electronic items that you carry with you!

12, during the trip, if you need anything, you can ask the flight attendant for help. Don't be embarrassed! Especially if there is anything wrong, don't hold it back!

13, tourists sitting next to the emergency exit of the plane, don't pull the handrail because of itching or curiosity! Danger! In short, on the plane, don't touch anything that the flight attendants explicitly forbid!

How to get to the hotel from the airport?

What we are talking about here are tourists who mainly travel by themselves! After all, just follow the group tour and the team leader.

Friends who like to help themselves, you need to pay attention to:

1. Make sure before you leave, including how far is the airport you arrive from the hotel you booked? So you can choose whether to take a taxi or take the bus or subway.

2. For the sake of safety, in order to avoid the late night when the flight arrives, it is suggested that you pay attention to the schedule when booking the flight.

Of course, you can also buy the shuttle bus service online before departure, soeasy!

In fact, as long as you arrive at the hotel safely and smoothly, then have a good rest and put on a refreshing suit, according to the previous strategy, a trip will start so beautifully.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, even if you are an outbound traveler, as long as you start to make preparations, you will find the rest of the trip so easy when you arrive in the destination country!
