And you had to have a crisp new English £10 note - no promissory notes, no old-looking notes, no excessive folds, no dog-ears, no change, no 2 x £5 or multiples of £1, etc, etc.

Provided that it has no laws of its own against the practice, a country could even do something that many people might regard as ridiculous, like charging male visitors a higher visa fee than females, despite both holding the same passport form the same country.

Indonesia and Malaysia are both members of ASEAN. The UK operates very different admission rules for each country.

Most insurers class all countries around the Mediterranean as "Europe" (so Tukey, Israel, Egypt etc but don't insure you if you go to regions where you are advised not to by the FCO, which would include Syria and parts of Turkey such as the Syrian border.

All that matters is what YOUR insurer does.
You need to either (a) find out your existing policy says (have you even tried???) or (b) buy a new ones that does.
