Check any passport route
Any of the 199×199 passport-to-destination routes: the entry rule, how long you can stay, and — the part nobody else shows — whether a document you already hold skips the visa.
What the answer actually means
Five words do most of the work on this page. Here is what each one costs you in time and money.
Visa-free. You show up with your passport and walk through. No form, no fee, no waiting room. Most of Europe works this way for American, Japanese and Singaporean passports.
eTA. An online form, roughly ten minutes, $7–32 depending on the country. Canada, the UK, New Zealand and Kenya all run one. Approval usually lands the same day. It is not a visa, though border officers treat it just as seriously — arrive without one and you are not boarding.
Visa on arrival. You land first, then queue at a desk and pay. Egypt, Cambodia and about forty others. One warning from travellers who have done it: bring cash in the right currency. Card terminals at those desks fail more often than anyone likes to admit.
e-Visa. Applied for online before you fly, approved in days rather than minutes. India, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia. You get a PDF, you print it, you carry the printout.
Visa required. The embassy route: appointment, documents, sometimes an interview, and weeks of waiting. This is the one to plan a trip around rather than squeeze in.
The part most visa sites skip
Nearly every checker stops at the table above. We keep going, because a document already sitting in your passport often changes the answer.
A Brazilian passport needs a visa for Canada. The same passport with a valid ten-year US visa inside gets an eTA instead — a ten-minute form. Same traveller, same passport, a completely different trip.
We keep 32 of these rules, each checked against the issuing government's own page. A Schengen visa opens Mexico for 180 days and Georgia for 90. A UK visa gets you into Ireland. A US green card works for Saudi Arabia, Argentina and a dozen others. If you hold any of them, check the route before you assume you need paperwork — the answer above already accounts for it.

Questions we get
How current is this? The entry rules come from the Passport Index open dataset, refreshed weekly. The unlock rules are checked by hand against government sources, and each one shows you where it came from. Last verified 2026-09-30.
Why does the reverse direction matter? Because travel is rarely one-way. If you are hosting someone, or planning to meet halfway, the answer for their passport is usually different from yours. We show both so you do not have to run the check twice.
Can I trust this for a visa application? Use it to plan, not to file. Rules change without warning, and border officers have discretion no dataset can capture. Every answer here links to the official government portal — confirm there before you book anything expensive.
Why is there no official link for some countries? Because that country has no online portal, or issues visas only through embassies. We would rather show nothing than send you to a lookalike site that charges a fee for a free form.
