Foreign Travel? Have You Checked These?
4) Preserving Bills –
Some people have the habit of preserving all types of bills. This habit might be annoying to most people but it comes in handy in certain cases. As visa policies have become stricter these days, it is better to be extra careful to avoid hassles at airport terminals. Few countries have become too stringent with certain aspects of foreign travel due to terrorist attacks. So, preserving bills of all purchases made while abroad is a good way to keep worries at bay at the customs. This rule goes double for costly purchases made in foreign nations. If possible, having the bills scanned and mailing them for future references can save us from carrying all the extra paper. Though this step might be a bit costly, it can save us from a lot of inconvenience.
5) International Sim Cards –
The mobile-phone savvy world has come up newer ways to utilize cell phones, be it in our home country or a foreign one. International sim cards are available for almost all countries. So, one can stay connected with one’s homeland even in a foreign nation. Matrix and Uniconnect are some of the international sim card providers in India. Various metro cities have their own international sim cards they provide for travel abroad. Chennai has Uprist Technology Solutions, Mumbai has Wowtel Prepaid Simcard, Hyderabad has International Cards and Pune has Lokesh Business Solutions. Still, Matrix and Uniconnect provide better international roaming than these firms. Having an international sim card is way more economical than using the local number abroad. It also provides better connectivity when roaming. Plus, it is un-economical to keep changing sim cards from one nation to another.
