Your Passport, Their Rules

Whether you need a visa comes down to the passport you hold and the country you are visiting. Choose both above and Travel Buddy tells you what to expect: visa-free entry, an eTA, an eVisa, a visa on arrival or a visa from the embassy, often with the number of days you can stay.

Visa requirements change, sometimes overnight. We use AI to help us watch official government sources, embassy updates and immigration announcements, and our editors review updates before they are published. We do not catch every change the day it happens, which is why we ask you to confirm with the official source before you travel.

Do you need a visa? Better to find out here than at check-in.

Every Passport, Every Border

Travel Buddy covers 200 passports and every country they can take you to. Each passport has its own page, with a map colored by how easy each country is to enter and the full list below it.

Open any country for the rule in detail, the official link, and the facts worth knowing before you land, such as the currency and how long your passport must be valid.

Same Flight, Different Rules

Two people in the same row can face different entry rules. A US, UK or Schengen visa you already hold, or a residence permit, opens doors in dozens of countries that your passport alone does not.

So every passport page lets you add the visas and permits you hold and see what changes. Traveling as a group? Where Can We Go lists the places all of you can enter without a visit to an embassy.

Check Here, Confirm at the Source

Use Travel Buddy to get your bearings before you book: which document you need and roughly how long it takes to get. Our travel news covers what has changed lately.

Then confirm the details with the destination's immigration authority, embassy or consulate before you travel. Their word is final. Ours is the quickest way to know what to ask.
