Your documents are the most important things in your bag. A little organisation saves a lot of stress.
Documents to carry
- Passport with enough validity for your destination
- Visa or e-visa, where needed
- Flight, train and hotel confirmations
- Travel insurance details
- Government ID and a spare passport photo
- Emergency contacts written down
Keep digital and paper copies
Save photos of your passport and visa to your phone and cloud storage, and carry one printed copy in a separate bag from the original.
Use one dedicated wallet
A slim travel wallet keeps your passport, boarding pass, cards and cash together, so you are not searching through pockets at security or immigration.
About RFID protection
Some wallets include RFID-blocking material that is designed to reduce the chance of contactless cards being read without your knowledge. It is an extra layer, not a replacement for good habits such as keeping your cards close to you.
Everyday safety habits
- Keep your passport on your person or in the hotel safe
- Use a bag with a secure zip in busy places
- Do not leave documents visible on a table
- Tell someone where your copies are stored
