Output format Two markdown tables with tick boxes, about one page each, grouped by category. Keep lines short and actionable, no paragraphs. Leave out generic travel advice.
Guardrails Do not invent visa rules, vaccination requirements, customs limits or airline allowances. Say that each must be confirmed with the relevant embassy or consulate, a travel health clinic, and the airline. Flag anything needing a licensed professional, such as a yellow fever certificate or a legalised document.
