Documents Come First
Before anything else, confirm exactly which travel documents the visiting family member needs and how long they take to obtain — passports, visas if required, and any documentation tied to the person being visited.
Budgeting the Trip
Flights, accommodation, local transportation, and everyday costs during the stay add up quickly. Booking flights and accommodation earlier generally costs less, especially around holidays.
Planning Around Work and School
Coordinating trip timing around both the visitor's work schedule and, where relevant, school schedules on the other end makes for a smoother trip for everyone involved.
