Make a travel documents checklist for my trip abroad
A personal checklist of passport, visa, transit, and health-entry items with deadlines and the official sources to verify each one.
The prompt
Help me make a travel documents checklist for an international trip.
My citizenship(s): [COUNTRY or COUNTRIES]
Where I live: [COUNTRY, and residency status if relevant]
Destination(s), including transit stops: [COUNTRIES and airports]
Travel dates: [DEPARTURE and RETURN]
Purpose: [tourism / visiting family / business / study]
Passport expiry date: [DATE]
Traveling with: [e.g. a child, a child without both parents, a pet, prescription medications]
Give me:
1. A checklist of what to confirm: passport validity rules (some countries require several months beyond departure and blank pages), visa or electronic travel authorization, transit visas for layovers, proof of onward travel or funds, vaccination or health requirements, and customs rules for medications.
2. A timeline working back from my departure date, with when to start each item.
3. Extra documents for my situation, such as a consent letter for a child traveling without both parents.
4. A list of the official sources to verify each item: the destination's government or embassy website and my own government's travel advice page.
Important: entry rules change often and depend on nationality. Present everything as what to check, not as final answers, and mark anything uncertain as [VERIFY WITH OFFICIAL SOURCE]. Never suggest third-party visa sites as the primary source.
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.
