Before you book

Visa and entry rules can change. Check the official immigration or consular source before booking or travel. Entry remains subject to passport validity, purpose of travel and other applicable conditions.

Rules may differ if you hold a residence permit or additional citizenship. Tourist entry rules do not establish permission to work or study. Transit requirements need a separate check.

Questions

Visa requirements: common questions

Which passport should I select?

Choose the passport you will use for this journey. Results assume a short tourist or private visit unless the record says otherwise. Other citizenships, residence permits, work, study and transit can require a separate check.

Does visa-free access guarantee entry?

No. A visa exemption does not remove other entry conditions. Check the permitted stay, passport validity and any required authorisation with the destination authority before travelling.

Is an ETA the same as an eVisa?

No. An ETA is a travel authorisation used for eligible travellers; an eVisa is a visa issued electronically. Follow the destination authority’s instructions for the status shown in your result.

What does an unknown entry rule mean?

We do not have enough recorded information to give a reliable answer for that route. It does not mean visa-free entry. Use the official guidance link or contact the destination’s consulate.

Where can I check application costs?

Open Visa Cost to see named application tariffs for your destination. Check the visa type, conditions and source: a standard fee is not permission to travel and may not apply to your passport.
