Carrying a copy of your passport in any foreign country is a very wise thing to do.

Don't forget to also copy any visa/residency pages that you have.

Put it in a very secure place and dont forget to come on the internet and tell everyone where you keep it.

There are c ertainly hiding places in/on your property where you can hide things. Thieves would never think to look outdoors.



I would challenge anyone to find my stuff!



If you worked for the drugs squad then you are not allowed to take me up on that! I know how skilled you guys are in your searches.

I used to carry mine in a secure belt around my waist, under my shirt .....

Until, on the Metro in Rome about 6 years ago, some amazingly skillful wa***r cut through my jacket, shirt and secure belt with a razor and removed it. I never noticed or felt a thing until I was getting of the train!

Good place for a copy of your passport is on the internet (gmail etc) suggested to me by Tom at flightholiday some years back. I have some copies of other documents in pdf up there too (I opened an extra account not the one that I use for mail etc)

My Question was where do you keep your passports when you are having an foreign holiday, not living permanently in an country or you home but based on an foreign holiday.

In the hotel safe is a good place if you are just on holiday

John Msg 13 - Glad you remembered and find the idea useful. I hope that you have never needed to use the backup.
