Singaporean Planning to Travel Abroad     Proper preparations at home and sensible precautions while traveling abroad can contribute towards trouble-free and memorable trips. The following is a list of what to do before you start on your journey and what to do if you get into trouble overseas. Before you go... Ensure that passports have at least 6 months validity. Check visa requirements for entry to your destination. Have onward/return tickets. Check on health and vaccination requirements. Bring along adequate funds. Apply for an Exit Permit (applicable to male Singapore citizen on National Service). Get full travel and medical insurance to cover illness, injury and loss of money, baggage, tickets etc. Find out more about the country you intend to visit, particularly any cultural sensitivities. Bring along your doctor's prescription if you have to carry medication or drugs. You may need to show this at the customs checkpoint. Carry photocopies of your identity card and passport data page, credit cards and note down travel cheque numbers if any. Obtain address and contact number of the nearest Singapore Mission. Leave a copy of your itinerary with your family/friends or inform them where you are going and how you may be contacted. While you are there... Obey the laws and respect local customs of the country you are visiting. Take special care of your passport and other documents of identification and keep them in a safe place, preferably separate from the rest of your luggage. Don't carry too much cash or other valuables. Never leave your belongings unattended. Always take care of personal safety and security. Never carry packages through customs on behalf of other people. Beware of the food and drinks you consume in areas where hygiene standards are low. Check out the customs regulations concerning import and export of items. If you drive, be sure that you have an International Driving Permit. Make sure you know the local rules of the road. Ensure that you, your passengers and the vehicle are covered by insurance. Read the small print on the car hire agreements before you sign. Stay in touch with your family in Singapore and inform them of any change in your itinerary or contact details.
