International travel has changed, but we've got you covered. To help you plan and prepare the documents you'll need, we've created this handy checklist. Keep this nearby whenever you travel, as you'll need to complete these steps for every flight, including return flights.

Step 1 – Check government sites for the latest information
There may be extra steps you need to complete to enter your destination. Travel requirements vary between destinations and can change at short notice.
- Vaccination – Your destination may require proof of vaccination to permit entry.
- Health declarations – If required, declarations will need to be completed before you arrive for your flight.
- Insurance – Some insurers now offer COVID-19 cover. Insurance may be required to enter your destination.
- Visas – Be sure to check if visas are required. Note that some destinations that had visa-free travel now require visas.
- COVID-19 testing – Tests may be required at a specified time frame before you depart and possibly when you arrive.
- Contact tracing apps – If tracing apps are required, you’ll need to set these up before you arrive for your flight.
Check government sites before you fly to ensure you're eligible for travel. You can view exit and entry requirements for your destination on our International travel page. If you have a connecting flight, be sure to check transit and destination requirements.
Step 2 – Get your international vaccine certificate
If your destination requires proof of vaccination, you’ll need to bring your vaccination certificate to check in for your flight. If you have a connecting flight, be sure to check requirements for transit destinations and connecting airlines as additional vaccination requirements may apply. You will need to follow the strictest requirements.
Step 3 – Go to the airport
Please note: check-in, bag drop and boarding gate times for Jetstar Airways (JQ) flights have changed and close earlier.
Check when you need to arrive for your flight. Remember, face masks may be required at some airport terminals and on board, depending on government requirements. To learn more about mask requirements and how we’re keeping you safe at the airport and on board, see Fly Well.
Checking in
Online check-in is currently unavailable for international flights, so you'll need to check in at the airport. Due to the additional documentation required for travel, please arrive at the airport early and allow extra time for check-in.
What to bring
Please bring any relevant travel documents with you to the airport, such as vaccination certificates, health declarations and COVID-19 test results, where required.
