## Prompt

```text
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.
