5 Weird Travel Requirements You Might Not Expect (But Definitely Need)
From yellow fever cards to onward tickets—these five requirements could derail your trip if you’re not prepared.
Some travel rules are obvious (passport? Check). But others can sneak up and ruin your plans. Here are five strange-but-true entry requirements to know:
-
Proof of Yellow Fever vaccination – Mandatory for many African and South American countries.
-
Return or onward ticket – Without it, some countries might deny entry.
-
Cash-on-arrival proof – Show funds (in cash!) at border checkpoints in places like Thailand.
-
Two blank visa pages – Some countries won’t accept passports without space.
-
Travel insurance documentation – Required for entry into Schengen countries.
