Accidents happen, even on holiday. Sometimes those accident occur on a national level, such as a natural disaster or political unrest. Keeping yourself in the know is super important as information is key, never more so that when the country you’re visiting is experiencing a major incident or freak weather event.

Subscribe to Smartraveller travel advisories for the destinations you intend to visit and receive alerts, via email, each time the travel advice for one of your destinations is updated.

VISAS

A visa, also referred to as a tourist visa, is an endorsement on a passport indicating that the holder is allowed to enter, leave, or stay for a specified period of time in a country where they are not a citizen or resident. Some countries require Australian travellers to carry visas, while some do not. Only the countries you plan to visit can provide up-to-date information about their visa requirements or visa-waiver programs.

Well before cabbing it to the airport, contact the nearest embassy or consulate of the countries you intend to visit.
