International Travel Checklist for NRI Parents

This guide is for general planning and coordination. Requirements differ by authority, airline, professional body and destination country.

Travel documents

Passport, visa, tickets, travel insurance if applicable, invitation/supporting documents and copies stored separately.

Carry medicines in original packaging where possible, keep prescriptions accessible and check destination-country restrictions.

Prepare comfortable clothing, chargers, spectacles, mobility aids and items needed during transit.

Confirm terminal, reporting time, transport, wheelchair or airline assistance requests and who will receive them at destination.

Make sure parents know how to contact family, airline staff and local contacts if phones do not work immediately after landing.

Need somebody on the ground to coordinate the next step? ViRi can help define what is practical and where a qualified professional is required.
