General Question

Your passport is essential for all international travel. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, your destination country, the purpose of your visit (tourism, work, study), and the length of your stay. Always check the official government travel website of your destination country well in advance of your trip.

Pack all essentials and valuables: passport, wallet/money, electronics, prescription medications, a change of clothes (in case of checked luggage delay), and any necessary chargers. This ensures you have what you need even if your checked bag is lost or delayed. Remember to follow airline restrictions on liquids.
