How to keep your Passport safe?
Whenever you travel abroad or go on a holiday or a tour
to foreign countries, your passport is a very important document along with the
visa. Keep it in safe custody in a bag or pouch so that it’s not misplaced or
stolen. In some European and other countries, gangs target passports. Never
hand over your passport to any unauthorized person. Your passport and visa are
important and allow you to travel seamlessly......

The passport is your key to travelling the world and
to getting back home, it’s also one hot commodity on the list of scamsters. A
stolen passport can cause a lot of problems for you, especially when it’s time
to come home. Not only will you not be allowed to travel, you could lose your
non-refundable airline ticket costs and be facing additional unexpected travel
expenses while you try to get it replaced. In addition, you could return home
to find that your identity has been effectively stolen.
When you travel abroad, leave a copy of your passport,
either digital or hard copy, with a close relative or friend. This will be
useful in case of any emergency, as a last alternative. You can get the details
of passport from them to provide it to the authorities or the embassy to make
it easy for you in such situations.
Carry a laminated copy of the second and third page of
the passport. You can use this to provide your passport details to agents,
officials, hotels, etc where there is no need to handover the original
passport.
And when you are out in a foreign land and you are not
so sure about any official asking for your passport, you can show them this. If
he insists on the original passport, tell him its kept in the hotel. Any
scamster won’t accompany you to the hotel to check your passport for the fear
of being exposed.
Along with the laminated copy, carry 4-5 photocopies
of your passport. Also carry a digital copy in your mobile. This will act as a
good backup. From this you can judge the importance of your passport. If you
lose your passport or it gets stolen, you are in big trouble. You will be
required to file a complaint at the nearest police station of that town or city
and get a copy of the FIR. This is required when you go to the Indian embassy
to file a lost or stolen complaint and apply for a new temporary passport. It’s
normally called white passport. It allows you to travel and return to India, as
its normally valid for 30 days.

In this blog, we’re going to tell you how to keep your
passport safe on a trip or holiday.
Carry your passport on your person if possible: We’ve
written before that money belts are a great way for travelers to keep the
majority of their cash, their passports, visa and other critical documents on
their person without showing it off. If you carry your passport in a purse, put
it in an inside the pocket and zip the pocket. A shoulder bag that’s worn
across the body is best (less easy for a thief to steal). Keep the bag in front
of you and keep the zippers and snaps closed up at all times.
One adult, one passport: Some people make the mistake
of keeping all the passports together and held by one person. That action
simply means losing more passports at once rather than keeping them all safe. Each
person who’s old enough carries their own passport. Spread out the kids’
passports among the adults to minimize the impact of a single theft.
If you leave your passport, lock it up: If you leave
your passport behind, lock it up. If you’re relatively confident in the safe in
your room, you can use that, but be sure that others can’t get into the safe
while you’re gone. Many of the hotel and cruise ship safes are just not that
safe. If you can leave it with the hotel custody or hostel and have them lock
it in their safe, that can be better, but if you don’t trust that option,
consider a locking travel safe or lock it inside your hard-sided luggage that’s
locked to an immovable object in your room (consider the plumbing around the
toilet to be pretty darned immovable).
Be wary of those who want to hold your passport: This
practice isn’t very common today, but in some places foreign hotels will ask
for your passport and keep it. In some cases, they’re required to report the
information to local authorities. If you’re uneasy with this practice – and you
should be – ask the establishment to accept a copy of your passport in lieu of
holding the document itself.
Keep the passport separate from the copies: The key to
not losing everything is to divide it up. Having a copy of your passport page
means you’ll have an easier time getting it replaced, but not if it’s stored
with and therefore stolen with your passport.
Check regularly – In private: Check regularly that
you’re still carrying your passport where you have kept it safely – especially
if you are traveling internationally – but do this in private. If you make it
obvious, a thief who’s watching will know just where to look for it. Check in
the privacy of your room before you leave for the day and use opportunities
like visiting bathroom stalls to verify it’s still where you think it is
throughout the day.
Know your coverage for a lost or stolen passport: Many
travel insurance plans include a lost or stolen passport as a covered reason
for trip cancellation. Many travel insurance plans also include coverage for
lost or stolen passports and even those who’ve had their identity stolen while
on a trip. Read your plan carefully and understand what help you’ll have if
your passport is stolen while you’re on a trip. Often, the coverage will pay a
portion of your emergency passport replacement costs as well as helping you
find the local passport office (usually an embassy or consulate).

How to Protect Your Passport When Traveling Abroad
Use a passport cover: Not only does a cover keep your
passport in good shape, but a passport cover from another country can be used to
keep things low key and to keep people guessing.
Keep your passport in a RFID blocking sleeve or cover:
Using a RFID blocking sleeve for our passports is something that we've started
doing the last few years as hacker technology has improved. Same goes for
protecting your debit and credit cards. It's just better not to take any risks.
And, the RFID blocking sleeve also serves the purpose of providing an
additional level of physical protection for the passport.
Go beyond making a copy of your passport: laminate it:
This is our top passport safety tip: laminate a credit card-sized copy of the
main page of your passport and carry it in your wallet or money belt. Think of
this as the updated version of carry a photocopy of your passport as it not
only looks more official, but it won't break down easily like a paper copy of
your passport. And it's easy to make at the neighborhood copy shop.
Keep an electronic copy of the visa to the country
you're traveling in on your phone: Every time you enter a new country take a
photo of your visa from that country and keep it handy on your phone. This will
show the date you entered, the date the visa expires, and that you are in the
country legally. Always keep a photo of our visa on our phone just to avoid
giving the police any excuse to harass you. Alternatively, you can make a
photocopy of the visa and carry that with you.
Fake police officers: Scam police officers – people
dressed in a police uniform – are common in some parts of the world. Once your
real passport is in scammers' hands, they may play you further and extort money
from you in order to give it back. You will be at their mercy as you cannot
travel without a passport. Do not pull out your passport until you are in a
public place and feel absolutely safe. The truth is that if you encounter a
real police officer with a real reason to see your passport, he shouldn’t have
a problem taking you to a nearby police station and walking with you to your
hotel to retrieve it. In both locations, if you can manage it, pull your
passport out only when you are in sight of a group of people. There is safety
in numbers, and its safe for you too.

Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)?
Recently the Centre notified the rules for the
Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Monday (March 11), more than four years
after its passage by Parliament in December 2019. The government has released
more information regarding the actual process of applying for citizenship under
CAA, as well as launching a web portal and mobile application, making the
entire application process online. Here are the most frequently asked questions
(FAQs) on CAA, its eligibility, application, and pressing concerns. Let’s have
look at them. This will in brief give you a peek into CAA. Some say it’s
controversial and others say, it’s a must for India due to the influx of
refugees over the years and illegal entry of foreigners.
What is the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)? The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is a legislative
proposal aimed at granting citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi,
or Christian refugees from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, or Pakistan who entered
India on or before December 31, 2014, without valid travel documents such as
passports. Upon applying for citizenship, subject to certain conditions, these
refugees will be eligible for citizenship by naturalisation.
What is the application process under CAA? The application process for citizenship under CAA has
been made under Section 6B of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The application
process has been made online. It can be accessed through the CAA-2019 mobile
app or the web portal: https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in.
Applicants will need to fill out an application, upload the required documents,
and pay a Rs 50 fee.
Who is eligible to apply for citizenship under CAA? The CAA applies exclusively to Hindu, Sikh, Jain,
Buddhist, Parsi, and Christian foreigners who migrated from three countries –
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan - to India before December 31, 2014, due
to religious persecution.
Does the CAA affect any Indian citizen? No, CAA itself does not impact Indian citizens.
What are the documents required to apply for
citizenship under CAA? Applicants need to establish their country of origin,
religion, date of entry into India, and knowledge of an Indian language.
Country of origin:
The requirement for a valid passport from the respective countries,
along with a Residential Permit of India, has been relaxed. Various documents
including birth certificates, educational certificates, and identity documents
issued by countries are acceptable.
Date of entry into India: Applicants can provide a
range of documents such as visas, immigration stamps, driving licenses, Aadhaar
cards, ration cards, Government issued IDs, employment records, utility bills,
school certificates from India, and more to establish their entry date.
