Question 1

What should I do if I lose my passport while travelling?

Accepted Answer

First, stay calm. Then report the loss to the local police and get a copy of the report. Visit your country’s nearest embassy or consulate to apply for an emergency replacement. Keep extra ID and copies of your passport stored safely online for this reason.

Question 2

How can I prepare for travel mishaps before my trip?

Accepted Answer

Buy travel insurance, save digital and paper copies of key documents, and write down emergency contacts. Give yourself buffer time between connections, pack a first-aid kit, and carry backup money in more than one form.

Question 3

Does travel insurance cover missed flights or lost luggage?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes—but it depends on the policy. Read the fine print before you buy. Most plans cover missed connections, delays, cancellations, and lost or delayed baggage, as long as you can prove it with receipts and reports.

Question 4

What if I get sick or injured abroad?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical help immediately. Your travel insurance may cover treatment, medication, and even medical evacuation. Keep all receipts and ask for medical records or doctor’s notes to submit your claim when you return home.

Question 5

How do I stay safe if something serious happens in the country I’m visiting?

Accepted Answer

Follow local news and authorities. Stay in contact with your embassy for official updates. Register with your government’s traveller program before your trip if available (e.g. Canadians can use ROCA).
