What do visa status types mean?
Visa-free
No advance visa required. You can enter the country on arrival for a set number of days. Check the maximum stay limit on your result.
Visa on arrival
A visa is issued at the border or airport. Bring the required documents (photos, fees, onward travel proof) or you may be denied entry.
eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation)
An online pre-approval required before travel. Usually takes minutes to obtain but can take up to 72 hours. Apply before booking flights.
Visa required
You must apply in advance through the destination's embassy or consulate. Timelines vary from days to months — plan well ahead.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this calculator and the main checker?
The calculator uses estimated data to give a quick directional answer. The main checker uses our full verified database and shows exact regulatory data with source references and last-verified dates.
How accurate is this calculator?
It's designed for orientation, not final confirmation. Use it to quickly assess whether a visa is likely needed, then confirm with the verified checker or official consulate.
Does purpose of travel affect visa requirements?
Yes — business and study visas are often separate categories from tourist visas, with different requirements, fees, and durations. The calculator factors this in at a high level.
What about dual nationals?
Entry rules are typically tied to the passport you present at the border, not your nationality. If you hold two passports, check requirements for both and use the one that gives you better access.
