DepartReady helps you build a personal checklist — documents, visa, eSIM, insurance, stay — tailored to your country and trip duration.
It's not just a packing list. The checklist verifies rules that depend on your citizenship and route — the things people usually dig through ten sites to find.
These items have a “Check” button: it opens an AI search with a ready-made question about your country, citizenship and situation — no need to word the question yourself.
Currency, plugs, tipping, emergency numbers — for every destination. For example:
Three steps — and you know what's ready and what's not.
Country, days, purpose, transport and kids — about twenty seconds.
Documents, money, connectivity, stay, first-aid kit — only what your trip actually needs.
Check things off, watch the readiness bar, and give everything a final look on the summary page before you go.
Everything people book before a trip — through trusted global services.
Prices through our links are the same as booking direct, and DepartReady stays free.
Hotels and apartments worldwide — book early, pay less.

DepartReady is a free service for getting ready to travel abroad. Answer five short questions — destination, duration, trip purpose, transport and whether you're traveling with kids — and get a personal checklist tailored to your route and citizenship: which documents you need, whether a visa is required, how entry rules work, plus your passport, travel insurance, eSIM, accommodation, airport transfer and a first-aid kit.
We don't repackage other people's lists. Country facts — currency, plugs, tipping, emergency numbers — are maintained by hand for every destination, while the rules that depend on your citizenship and route — visas and a letter of invitation, passport validity, vaccinations, Green Card car insurance, road vignettes, a child's travel consent — are checked by AI against current data the moment you need it. No more piecing answers together across ten different sites.
DepartReady works for any trip: a beach getaway, a business trip, a road trip, traveling with kids or your very first time abroad. The less experience you have, the more it helps — the checklist flags the things people usually forget before departure.
The service earns from partner links to trusted global brands — if you book accommodation, insurance, an eSIM or a transfer through them, your price doesn't change. That's why DepartReady is free — and always will be.
Yes. The service is free. We earn from partner links if you book something — the price is the same for you.
It depends on the paperwork: a visa can take weeks, while insurance and an eSIM take minutes. Two to three weeks before departure is a comfortable start — and if you fly tomorrow, the checklist helps you cover the essentials fast.
It depends on your citizenship and destination. The checklist has an AI visa and passport check for your exact situation.
Many countries require your passport to stay valid for another 3–6 months after your departure date. The rule depends on the country and your citizenship — the checklist has an AI check that answers for your exact case.
Travel insurance, mobile data (an eSIM), enough validity left on the passport, a first-aid kit — and on trips with kids, the child's travel consent. The checklist keeps these in plain sight with a readiness bar, so nothing slips through.
The checklist adds kids' items: children's documents, a travel-consent check, a child car seat for car trips, and a kids' first-aid kit.
Vignettes and toll roads, Green Card car insurance, an International Driving Permit, and child-seat rules. Each has its own AI check in the checklist.
Keep your boarding pass and receipts — under EU rules (and in several other countries) you may be owed up to €600 in compensation. For flights, the checklist includes AirHelp, a service that helps you claim it.
Country facts (currency, plugs, emergency numbers) are maintained by hand, and visa and document rules are handled by an AI check that stays current.
No — DepartReady runs right in the browser, on your phone and computer. If you like, add the page to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Free, no sign-up. A couple of minutes — and you're all set.
