Travel insurance will provide you financial and practical assistance should something go wrong on your trip. When buying travel insurance, check for the following:
- The policy covers activities you expect to be doing while on the trip
- The policy covers emergency medical treatment, hospitalisation and repatriation
- The policy offers 24-hour emergency assistance
- The claim limit for replacing personal belongings that get damaged or lost is suitable for your purposes
Especially useful when travelling to a country you know little about, a good guidebook should include background information on your destination including local laws and customs.
Please consult your doctor on the necessary health precautions you need to take while on a trip overseas. You may also wish to get vaccinated if necessary.
You can change Singapore dollars for foreign currency at any of the money changers located in most major shopping centres, banks and at the airport.
The last thing you need to do is to make several copies of your passport , identity card, insurance policy and itinerary. These may come in useful should you lose your original travel documents.
