Planning your trip.*
Things to consider.
Getting your papers ready is the first thing you do before a trip. The first document you need is a passport. Here, in Argentina, you can apply for one at Registro Nacional de las Personas (ReNaPer) following the same procedure for getting or updating your ID. Remember fee varies according to the urgency. If you already have got a passport, make sure that it’s valid for six more months after your departure date. Make copies of your passport (copies of your ID will be of use, too) , and keep them with you in a suitcase and with a friend or a family member.
Another thing you may need is a visa. A visa is a stamp or a sticker in your passport. Some visas are for business; others are for study or travel. In your case, you don’t need a visa to visit UK, France, Germany and Italy as a tourist. But, there are countries that require you to get your visa before you travel. Each country is different; you can check the procedure at the embassy website. Anyway, your travel agent probably provided you with this information when you booked the tour.
Your travel itinerary is a list of your plans. You need to keep it safe. Keep a copy with you all the time. Give an extra copy to a friend or family member.
When travelling to another country, your vaccinations need to be up to date. Tell the doctor where you’re going. He or she will give you the vaccinations and then give you an immunization record. This is a small booklet with your vaccination history in it. Take it on your trip. Think about buying travel health insurance. Most insurance companies will give you a card that has your insurance company name and number. You can use this card if you have an accident.
