Check passport, visa, and entry requirements before international travel
A checklist of documents, entry rules, and deadlines to verify before my executive travels abroad, with official sources to check.
The prompt
Help me check what my executive needs before an international trip.
Traveler's nationality (passport country): [COUNTRY]
Other residency or visas held: [if any]
Route, including transits: [e.g. "New York - Dubai (transit) - Mumbai"]
Dates and length of stay: [DATES]
Purpose: [business meetings / conference / site work / speaking]
Passport expiry date: [DATE]
Give me:
1. What to verify for each country on the route (including transit): visa or electronic travel authorization, passport validity rules, blank pages, business vs. work activity distinctions, and registration requirements. Present what is commonly required as a starting point and tell me to confirm on the official government or embassy website - entry rules change, and I must not rely on this alone.
2. Timeline: working back from departure, when to apply for anything that takes time.
3. Document pack: invitation letters, proof of onward travel, hotel bookings, company letter, insurance - with which ones are typically needed.
4. Health and safety checks: where to look for vaccination requirements and travel advisories.
5. Red flags: passport expiring within 6 months of return, tight transit with separate tickets, activities that might need a work permit.
Mark every requirement [VERIFY WITH OFFICIAL SOURCE]. Never state a rule as certain.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
