Paperwork

Remember to bring with you:

  • Travel insurance documents. It is very important to obtain suitable travel insurance before you travel, since in many countries of the world, medical treatment has to be paid for and can add up to thousands of pounds depending on the treatment required.
  • Record of the serial number of travel tickets.
  • Record of passport number and date issued.
  • Record of credit card numbers.
  • Record of driving license number.
  • Serial number of travel insurance policy and a note of the emergency contact number.
  • A list of medical problems, allergies and treatments.

British Consulate

  • Keep names and addresses of friends and relatives with your passport so that the British Consulate can contact them if necessary. They may be able to help you return to the UK quickly but remember you will have to bear the costs.
  • Remember that the British Consulate is not able to pay any bills, including hotel or hospital bills, act as a travel agent, pay for travel, or give any legal advice or interfere with the legal proceedings of the country concerned. It is your own responsibility to organise these things for yourself.

Cost of treatment abroad

  • Check eligibility for free treatment or costs of treatment.
