Pro Tips

Essential Travel Tips

Check your passport validity — many countries require at least 6 months remaining beyond your travel dates.

Apply for your visa at least 4–6 weeks before travel to avoid last-minute complications.

Arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before domestic departures.

Keep digital copies of all travel documents in a secure cloud location.

Always declare cargo accurately — misdeclaration can result in seizure, fines, or flight delays.

For Hajj visas, apply as early as January for the annual pilgrimage — quota slots fill quickly.

Pack medications in their original labeled packaging to avoid issues at customs.

Carry sufficient local currency for your destination — card acceptance in Somalia varies by city.
