Everything You Need to Know When Traveling Abroad

For detailed information about steps you can take to ensure a safe
trip, see How to Have a Safe Trip. Meanwhile, here are some quick tips
to make your travel easier and safer:Register so the State Department
can better assist you in an emergency: Register your travel plans with
the State Department through a free online service. This will help us
contact you if there is a family emergency in the U.S., or if there is
a crisis where you are traveling. In accordance with the Privacy Act,
information on your welfare and whereabouts will not be released to
others without your express authorization.




Sign passport, and fill in the emergency information: Make sure you have a
signed, valid passport, and a visa, if required, and fill in the emergency
information page of your passport. Leave copies of itinerary and passport
data page: Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data page and visas
with family or friends, so you can be contacted in case of an
emergency.Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your medical
insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers
emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider
supplemental insurance. Familiarize yourself with local conditions and
laws: While in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws. The State
Department web site at travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html
has useful safety and other information about the countries you will
visit.




Take precautions to avoid being a target of crime: To avoid being a target
of crime, do not wear conspicuous clothing or jewelry and do not carry
excessive amounts of money. Also, do not leave unattended luggage in
public areas and do not accept packages from strangers.
