What do you need to pay attention to most when going abroad for vacation?

The epidemic of more than two years has made many friends crazy. With the arrival of holidays, outbound travel may become popular. Although the global epidemic has not been completely eliminated, it has now entered an era of coexistence with viruses. And going abroad for a holiday is much more complicated than before. I really don't mean to leave. There are many places that need our special attention.

With my only knowledge, I will talk to you about the most important places to pay attention to when going abroad for vacation to help you travel easily.

I. Documentation

Needless to say, ID cards are mainly passports and visas. Check the validity period of passport before going abroad, preferably more than half a year. For details, please call the embassy of the destination country in China. There are also visas that need to be handled well. It is necessary to ensure that the entry visas for the destination country and the transit country have been obtained, and the validity period should be consistent with the holiday plan. Except visa-free countries, of course.

Second, know the relevant information of the destination country.

Because we are going abroad, unlike at home, many problems are easy to solve, so we should pay more attention to foreign countries. You can comprehensively collect the customs and taboos, climate conditions, public security situation, laws and regulations of the destination country, and record them in a notebook to prepare for it.

Third, pay attention to the boarding time

It is still in the epidemic period, and it is not as simple as before the epidemic. In addition to the necessary passports and air tickets, some countries may require inbound passengers to provide certificates such as vaccine certificate, entry declaration form and negative certificate of coronary heart disease test. And the inspection time of airport staff will be longer. In the past, the airport always reminded everyone to arrive at the airport at least one and a half hours in advance. Now I suggest that it is more appropriate to arrive an hour early. All kinds of procedures can be done well in advance, if possible, online, such as boarding the plane, uploading the vaccine certificate, testing report, etc.

Fourth, don't carry prohibited items.

Know in advance the restrictions on food and foreign exchange in the destination country. Do not carry internationally prohibited or protected articles. And don't carry things or luggage for strangers. If you need to carry a large amount of cash, you should declare it to the customs according to the relevant regulations.

Five, understand the relevant national epidemic prevention measures

Now "living with viruses" in the world is knowledge, but there is a real problem. Policies in different parts of a country are different, not to mention that when we go to other countries, there will definitely be differences. For example, masks are not mandatory in many parts of Europe and North America, but some stores will require wearing masks. In Australia, masks must be worn on some occasions. Some countries or regions will check whether customers have been vaccinated. Therefore, it is best for students to pay attention to the latest epidemic prevention policies of relevant countries at any time before traveling or during vacation. In addition, you should carry an electronic or paper version of the vaccine certificate with you. It can't be wrong.

Sixth, prepare for the worst.

Now the epidemic has not been completely overcome, and what everyone is most worried about may be the unfortunate infection with coronary heart disease. In fact, the latest mutant virus has a low mortality rate and will not pose much threat to life, but once it happens, it will really disappoint people.

You should have this psychological preparation in advance, and you can prepare antigen rapid detection equipment and medical masks when you travel. If possible, you can also prepare some over-the-counter drugs to deal with the symptoms of coronary heart disease. When you or others are diagnosed, make a response plan. For example, if isolation is diagnosed locally, should I go back to the place where I live first or live around the patient isolation place? You can also know the isolation places in the destination country in advance. Be more prepared, once things happen, they will be like headless flies.

In fact, in this respect, I suggest you buy relevant travel insurance for yourself and your family before going abroad, which can reduce your expenses once it happens.

7. Leave emergency contact information. Before going abroad for a holiday, leave a travel plan schedule for your family and agree on the contact information. You can write the emergency information page of your passport. Copy of passport, visa and ID card should be taken with you and kept at home.

Another contact information you should pay attention to is the contact information of the embassy or consulate of the destination country. You can log on to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or China Collection Service Network to inquire and save. Some people say, what if the country I went to did not establish diplomatic relations with our country? It's very simple. Just check the contact information of embassies and consulates in neighboring countries. You can also save the number of the global consular protection and service emergency call center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which can be found online.

There are many things to pay attention to, but I think the above is the most important. I hope everyone can enjoy your holiday with a happy mood!
