We advise:
Exercise a high degree of caution in Belgium due to the threat of terrorism.
Many countries require 6 months on your passport from your date of returning to Australia.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Make sure you’re covered.
Depending on your nationality you may need an e-visa or paper visa for your destination. Make sure you’re organised as this can sometimes take weeks to process. Be sure to check for every country you intend to visit.
From customs declarations to vaccination requirements, many countries have specific requirements which you need to follow or risk being denied entry.
Travel insurance is highly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade because, let’s face it, not everything goes according to plan when you’re travelling. So, just like your passport, travel insurance is a must-have. It’s your safety net that ensures you and your loved ones won’t face financial issues if something goes awry. Don’t take any chances, regardless of who you are, where you’re headed, or what you’ll be up to – getting insurance is the smart move.
If you do need medical help, Travel insurance is crucial. The cost of medical assistance abroad can be very high. Most countries won’t offer free or discounted care, leaving you to pay if you aren’t covered.
