Citizens Advice gives advice on what to check before you travel
If you are planning on travelling to the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland or Liechtenstein you should:
- Check the latest travel advice on www.gov.uk – there could be extra rules because of coronavirus.
- Check your passport is valid for the dates you’re travelling.
- Get travel insurance and check if your existing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is in date or if you can apply for a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).
- Find out if you’ll be charged more to use your mobile phone. Make sure you understand how to turn off mobile roaming on your phone if you’re worried about extra charges. This is usually in the phone’s ‘settings’ menu under ‘mobile roaming’.
- Check you’ve got everything you have to take if you’ll be driving, for example a UK sticker for your car.
- Check you’ve got the right documents if you’re taking your pet.
