Common questions

Do I need a visa with a UK or US passport?

It depends on the country, length of stay, and purpose. Pick your passport and destination above for the current rule and a link to the official source. More passports coming soon.

What's the difference between a visa, eVisa and ETA?

A visa is formal permission to enter. An eVisa is the same thing issued online. An ETA (like ESTA, K-ETA or ETIAS) is a lighter pre-travel screening for visa-free travellers.

How fresh is your information?

Every page links to an official government source and shows the date we last checked. We also run an automated freshness checker against those sources.

Do you sell visas?

No. We are not a visa agency. We tell you the rule and link you straight to the official application — usually free or the official fee only.
