Frequently asked questions

It requests visa information using the Travel Buddy service via RapidAPI and may return a cached response. Coverage varies by passport and destination. A result is a planning aid, not an immigration decision or a guarantee of airline acceptance.

The public checker does not require a payment or account. Official visa applications and commercial services have separate charges and conditions.

Check the destination’s current official immigration or embassy guidance and the operating airline. Report the discrepancy through our contact form. Neither a cached result nor an article update date establishes that a rule is still current.

No. Visa exemption, travel authorisation, arrival declarations, passport requirements and admission conditions are separate questions. Check the requirements for your actual passport, purpose and route.

Do not assume it does. Permissions may use rolling or cumulative limits, and a new admission is a separate decision. Use the applicable official rules or extension process for the actual itinerary.

The answer depends on the specific permission and activity. Describe the actual work or study to the responsible authority before choosing a category. A holiday booking or possession of a laptop does not decide the issue.

Use current official fee and processing guidance. A typical timeframe is not a guarantee, and paying a service provider does not establish approval. Check the effective date and the exact application category.

First-person reporting needs identifiable provenance, permission and appropriate attribution. Unsupported named accounts have been withdrawn during the content review. Practical examples should be labelled and should not be presented as actual trips or receipts.

Some links are disclosed affiliate referrals, including ET2Sim links. A qualifying purchase may earn a commission. Referral click counts are not sales figures, and a commission does not establish that a product fits a particular itinerary.
