Frequently asked questions

How do I check if I need a visa?

Select the passport you will travel on and your destination. The checker shows whether entry is visa-free, needs a visa on arrival, an eTA, an e-Visa or a visa from an embassy, and the maximum stay where it is known.

What is the difference between an eTA and an e-Visa?

An eTA is a quick online authorisation for travellers who do not need a visa. An e-Visa is a full visa that you apply for online instead of at an embassy, and usually asks for more documents.

Does visa-free mean I can work?

No. Visa-free entry covers short visits such as tourism, family visits or business meetings. Working or studying normally requires a separate visa or permit.

I have two passports. Which should I check?

Check both. Requirements depend on the passport you present at the border, so travel on the one with the easier entry rule and use the same passport throughout the trip.
