Checklist of 4 essential items for every travel suitcase.

Identification documents: The key to every journey.

This is a top priority item, determining the start of your trip. Whether traveling domestically or internationally, having all the necessary documents prepared will help you avoid unnecessary problems.

For domestic tourism

Currently, airline procedures in Vietnam can utilize biometric authentication via the Citizen Identity Card (CCCD) and the VNeID application. However, you should still carry your original identification documents to prevent problems such as a dead phone battery, network connection loss, or during hotel check-in procedures.

For international trips

A valid passport and a visa (entry permit) as required by the destination country are mandatory. If you plan to rent a car, don't forget to bring a valid driver's license. A helpful tip is to always save copies of important documents to your email or cloud storage service so you can access them anytime.

Cash and Cards: Flexibility in any situation

In the age of digital payments, many people tend to skip carrying cash. However, this can be a mistake. You should prepare a sufficient amount of cash to cover small expenses, meals at local restaurants, or for use in case your destination doesn't accept card payments or you encounter technical issues.

When traveling abroad, exchange some of the local currency before your trip. Also, check your international credit card information and install suitable e-wallets to diversify your payment methods.

Personal medicine cabinet: Peace of mind on every journey

A compact first-aid kit is an indispensable companion. Being prepared will help you proactively handle basic health issues, especially in places where prescription medication is required.

Medications for fever reduction, pain relief, diarrhea, and motion sickness.
Personal medications if you are currently undergoing treatment for a medical condition.
Personal bandages, antiseptic, saline solution.
Sunscreen and insect bite cream.

Small but mighty items

These are accessories that enhance your travel experience and comfort, especially on long journeys.

U-shaped neck pillow, eye mask, earplugs: Help you get a good night's sleep on airplanes, trains, or buses.
Zip bags and waterproof bags: Used for organizing items, storing dirty clothes, or protecting electronic devices from moisture.
Socket adapter: A must-have item when traveling to countries that use different socket standards.
