Boring but essential when traveling, paperwork is a step not to be overlooked. It's important to take your time to prepare everything carefully to avoid finding yourself in complex situations that could have been avoided. Of course, the amount of paperwork needed for a trip varies depending on your destination, the type of trip, and the duration of your stay. However, the basic documents needed for any trip abroad remain fairly consistent.
To start, even though it might seem trivial, it’s important to mention that to gather the right documents in time, you need to start early. Some documents have processing and mailing times that can vary, so it’s essential to be aware of these and factor them into your planning from the beginning.
Here is a list of documents not to forget. We’ve categorized them to make it easier, and we’ve even created additional articles for each document if you want to learn more (usefulness, procedures, processing times, etc.).

Remember to scan your documents and upload them to a drive or cloud storage so you always have access to them. This is especially useful if you lose any documents or if you need a paper that you don't have with you, saving you from having to make a trip back to retrieve it.
