  1. Check your passport validity. Many countries ask for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.
  2. Be ready to show a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and proof of funds at the border.
  3. Leave before the permitted stay ends. Working or studying usually needs a different visa.
