Know before you go? Get the latest travel advice

FCO Travel Advice

1Stop Travel Insurance is a partner to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in their Know Before You Go Campaign.

Know Before You Go is an ongoing campaign with around 250 travel industry partners to help British people stay safe and healthy abroad.

The campaign was lanched in 2001 to promote these key messages:

  • Get adequate travel insurance.
  • Check the FCO's country travel advice.
  • Research your destination - know the local laws and customs.
  • Visit your GP as soon as possible before travelling.
  • Check your passport is in good condition and valid and you have all necessary visas.
  • Make copies of important travel documents and/or store them online using a secure data storage site.
  • Tell someone where you are going and leave emergency contact details with them.
  • Take enough money and have access to emergency funds.
  • Every year thousands of British travellers seriously regret not taking these simple steps.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office publishes and regularly updates its advice to UK citizens.
