Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa if I have a connecting flight?

It depends on the transit country and your nationality. Many countries allow airside transit without one if you stay in the international zone, but some require a transit visa even for short layovers. Always check the entry rules of your transit country before booking.

How long can I stay in a visa-free country?

Such stays typically range from 14 to 90 days depending on the destination and your passport. For example, many nationalities can stay 90 days in the Schengen Area within any 180-day period. Our checker shows the maximum allowed stay for each nationality-destination pair.

What's the difference between eVisa and visa on arrival?

An eVisa (or ETA) is obtained online before you travel, while the other is issued at the border when you land. Both are simpler than an embassy application, but the online route must be arranged a few days before departure.

Is this information always up to date?

We update our database regularly and display the last-updated date on every page. However, policies can change at short notice, so always confirm with the official government or embassy website of your destination before travel.
