What are the top digital travel tips for Singaporeans travelling this summer throughout Japan and Korea?

Emergency contacts

If there’s one thing you should always have at hand when you’re far from home, it’s emergency contacts. Being somewhere completely unfamiliar can leave you feeling exposed, and if you’re ever in trouble - you need to know that there’s someone you can call to help you deal with it. For example, if you lost your passport or other critical travel documents, who can you call to have them replaced? Get these contacts sorted beforehand.

Destination Restrictions

It would help you significantly to know about all of the different restrictions and regulations in the destinations you’re headed to. If you decide to go off of the planned route, being able to access that information at any time could save you a lot of time and trouble - and you can ensure that you’re not taking any risks while you explore.

eSIM cards

If you haven’t heard of them before, eSIM cards are a great addition to your travelling experience, and you won’t want to travel without them after giving them a try. Essentially, they’re a virtual sim that you can pay for wherever you are, to be used in the location that you’re in or heading to.

Usually, individuals who travel a lot would need to use a complicated plan, or a number of different sims to stay connected while travelling - which works but it’s not convenient. If you want a seamless travel experience, using eSIMS to power your connectivity can make it much easier for you with much less confusion. There are even plans available that offer borderless connection - ensuring that you don’t lose connectivity no matter where you go.

Data roaming

As you’re not likely going to be tied down to one place, you’re going to want to be able to use your data roaming while travelling from Tokyo to Kyoto, Seoul to Busan, etc. As mentioned before, this would usually require the use of multiple different SIMs to keep yourself connected - but with eSIM - you can stay connected all of the time. With this, you’ll be able to access any information you need - preventing you from having to stop or slow down during your travels.

In some cases, using roaming while in another country can be expensive, especially if your plan doesn’t cater to travelling. eSIM aren’t restricted to your current paid package, and you can use a different plan according to each location. If you know that you’re only going to be in one place for a short time, you can pay for what you need. It’s much more affordable than paying in advance or trying to work something out with your current provider.

Seamless connection

If you’re keeping open communication with someone, running a blog, or using a map with your device - you want to make sure your connection isn’t interrupted. It can ruin your experience, and in some cases put you at risk. Instead, having something like an eSIM ready and prepared will avoid any kind of downtime with your connection, and you can keep up with what you enjoy while you travel. You don’t have to disconnect from your social life while you adventure, nor do you have to plan around downtime.

Travel apps

Travel apps are often a great source of information for those who are exploring new areas. You can stay in a traditional Japanese Ryokan or Korean Hanok to embrace the culture. You can use these to get information on the go, whether it’s locations on where you can stay the night, attractions you can visit in your free time, or places you can eat. You might even find that these are all complete with reviews and ratings to let you know what the best experience might be, and how much they’re going to cost you. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to access these if you’re not connected - so ensure that you’re able to access them when and where you need them.
