Advice from the Foreign Office
The Foreign Office has recently produced a series of hard-hitting videos as part of their 'Know Before You Go’ campaign to help keep British citizens safe and healthy abroad.
They provide a short but useful reminder on how important it is to have a decent travel and/or health insurance policy before you head to your new host country.
If you're planning to work and live abroad for a longer period of time, the Foreign Office website is also a very useful resource. Here are links to some of their online guides.
- Support for British nationals abroad: a guide
- Going To live abroad
- Lonely planet travel safe
- World Wise
- Country travel advice
Remember their top tips to know before you go:
- Make sure you have appropriate travel insurance cover
- Do your homework - research the local laws and customs
- Check in with local doctor as soon as you can before travelling
- Check your passport is valid and that you have all the visas you need
- Get copies of critical travel documents - you can even keep them online now using data storage sites
- Let someone know where you are going and give them contact details for an emergency
- Make sure you have alternative funds which you can access in an emergency
