To make sure that your passport and communication tools are not confiscated when traveling to Southeast Asia, carry all documents in a clear bag that can be easily inspected and stored in separate pockets or carry bags. Avoid carrying items such as laptops or phones that may be seen as possible contraband items. Be sure to declare all electronic items upon arriving at the border and have proof of documentation, such as copies of necessary software licenses for the computer. It’s also important to double check with embassy regulations for each country you will be visiting, as their rules can vary regarding permitted electronics for tourists/travellers.

Be sure to carry them in a secured and hidden location, preferably in a money belt. Do not allow customs officers or other law enforcement agents to directly access them. If they are confiscated, ask for an official receipt with the information of your items so you can file a claim with the embassy later on.
