1. The Basics

2. Passport or relevant ID
3. Tickets and ticket confirmations. Remember – you don’t just need flight booking confirmations, but confirmations for your accommodation and any activities you have booked too
4. A visa! Even if you received your visa electronically, it’s worth carrying a printed version just in case
5. Cash in the currency of the country you’re headed to (as well as a small amount of your home currency)
