Take personal responsibility for your travel choices, your safety, finances and behaviour overseas, including obeying the laws of the country you are visiting.

Make sure you have the right visas for the countries you are visiting or transiting and check any other entry or exit requirements. Organise your finances to cover your planned travel.Obey the laws of the country you are visiting (even if these appear harsh or unfair by Indian standards). Dont expect to be treated differently from the locals.

Take appropriate travel and comprehensive medical insurance that covers you for any unexpected costs; make sure you have sought medical advice for health concerns, have up to date vaccinations and, if you are carrying pharmaceutical products or medicines from India, make sure they are allowed in the country you are visiting.

Protect your passport and report it promptly if it is lost, stolen or damaged. Make sure your passport is valid (with at least six months validity from your planned date of return to India) and will not expire when you are overseas.

Carry extra passport photos in case your passport is lost or stolen and you need to replace it while you are away. Make copies of your passport (including visa pages), insurance policy, traveller’scheques, visas and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in a separate place away from the originals and also leave a copy with someone at home.

Keep in contact with friends and family back home and leave a copy of your insurance policy details and your overseas itinerary with them.
