Tips For International Passengers
- Keep 2-3 legible photocopies of passport, visa, credit cards in your coat pocket and check-in bag
- Have a back-up of your mobile phone numbers
- Leave photocopies of your credit card with your office
- Trade bodies/organisations can be of great help—carry their contact numbers
- Carry the contact number/address of the Indian Embassy/consulate of the country you are visiting
- Preferably use a combination lock for your check-in bag. Key locks mean you will have to break the lock if the keys get stolen
- Always check in your bag under your name. If any other passenger of your group checks in your bag, you will find it hard to retrieve it
- In case of a passport theft, always file a complaint with the airport officials and the police and keep photocopies of these
- The Indian embassy gives you an attested photocopy of the police/airport complaint that you have submitted to them. Take 2-3 copies of these as you may have to furnish these to immigration authorities in Mumbai
- Check to see that the appropriate word, passport “stolen’’ or “lost’’ is mentioned in the emergency certificate
