Checklist avant le départ
N'oubliez aucune étape. Plus de 30 tâches essentielles à accomplir avant votre prochaine destination nomade.
Most countries require at least 6 months validity beyond your travel dates. Renew early if needed.
Check if you need a visa, tourist visa duration, and digital nomad visa options for your destination.
Scan passport, visa, insurance, and ID. Store digital copies in cloud storage and email them to yourself.
If you plan to rent a car or motorbike, check if an IDP is required in your destination country.
Essential for nomads. Consider SafetyWing, World Nomads, or Genki for long-term travel coverage.
Some countries require proof of specific vaccinations. Check CDC or WHO travel advisories.
Get enough medication for your stay. Carry a doctor's letter for controlled substances.
Include painkillers, anti-diarrhea medicine, band-aids, antiseptic, and any personal medications.
Prevent your cards from being blocked abroad. Set travel notifications in your banking app.
Consider Wise, Revolut, or N26 for zero foreign transaction fees and good exchange rates.
Understand daily expenses at your destination: rent, food, coworking, transport, and entertainment.
Check tax residency rules, treaty benefits, and reporting requirements for your home and destination countries.
Keep 1-3 months of expenses accessible for emergencies, unexpected flights, or medical situations.
Protect your data on public WiFi and access region-locked services. Set up before you leave.
eSIMs like Airalo or Holafly work instantly on arrival. Otherwise, know where to buy a local SIM.
Different countries use different plug types and voltages. Get the right adapter before you go.
Back up your laptop, phone photos, and important files to cloud storage before traveling.
Download Google Maps or Maps.me offline maps for your destination in case you lose connectivity.
Book at least 3-5 nights of accommodation so you have a base to find longer-term housing.
Find coworking spaces near your accommodation. Check day pass prices and WiFi speeds.
Coliving combines accommodation with community. Great for solo nomads wanting instant connections.
Compare prices across airlines and dates. Consider one-way tickets for flexibility.
Research how to get from the airport to your accommodation: taxi, bus, train, or ride-share.
Learn hello, thank you, how much, and where is the WiFi in the local language.
Note local emergency numbers, nearest embassy, and your insurance provider's hotline.
Review typical weather for your travel dates so you pack the right clothing and gear.
Let your team know about your new timezone and update your working hours accordingly.
Know at least two backup options for internet: mobile hotspot, nearby cafe, or coworking space.
If there's a big timezone shift, plan your sleep schedule transition a few days before.
Check in at your destination to connect with other nomads and find who's already there.
Find Facebook groups, Slack channels, or meetup groups for digital nomads in your destination.
Many countries offer travel registration for citizens abroad. Useful in case of emergencies.
