Register with the Embassy’s Consular Section. Regardless of where you plan to travel in Asia, it is advisable to register with the US Embassy Consular, for your protection. If there is an emergency, no one can help you if they are not aware of where you are.
You will need to have a valid passport. Be sure to check to see if you need a visa for where you are going. It is important to read the Consular's information sheets for the areas you are traveling to. As it would provide you with up to date information about anything taking place in that region that you should be aware of. Should you find yourself in any type of legal trouble, immediately contact the US Embassy for assistance.
The rules, regulations, and laws are different in Asia than in the United States. Before leaving for your trip it is wise to familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures of that area. This would help you avoid getting into legal trouble because you would be aware of how things are done there. You must follow the rules set by all airports and do not leave your bags unattended.
Fundamental rules apply anywhere you travel, that is, do not wear expensive jewelry or display large amounts of cash, because these are indicators that you have items of value. This can lead you to be the victim of a robbery or a worse crime. Also, avoid exchanging currency with anyone other than an authorized agent. Be careful when making purchases such as jewelry, art, and antiques.
Take the time to follow these basic tips so your trip to Asia can be enjoyable. If you are prepared you will avoid surprises that can ruin your trip. Register with the US Embassy, so you can get help if something goes wrong. Taking these steps will allow you to focus on the beauty of Asia and have a great travel experience.
