Your visa questions, answered
How do I check whether I need a visa?
Type your passport country and destination into the search above, e.g. Spain Japan, then select the route. You can also browse all passports or destinations and pick a country from the list.
Can I find countries I can visit without a visa?
Yes. Open your passport page and look for destinations with a visa-free badge. Choose a destination to review its entry information and permitted stay, where available.
Should I select my nationality or where I live?
Select the country that issued the passport you plan to travel with. The checker uses your passport country; residence permits and other documents may affect your eligibility and should be checked against official destination rules.
What is the difference between visa-free entry, visa on arrival, an eVisa, and an eTA?
Visa-free entry means a visa is not required for an eligible visit. A visa on arrival is obtained at the destination. An eVisa is applied for online, while an eTA is an electronic travel authorisation. Check the destination’s rules for eligibility and when to apply.
How long can I stay in a destination?
VisaDir shows stay durations where available. A missing duration does not mean an unlimited stay. Check official rules for how days are counted and whether limits apply across multiple visits.
Do these results cover work, study, or airport transit?
Do not assume the displayed requirement covers every purpose of travel. Work, study, longer stays, and airport transit can have separate requirements. Check the official guidance for your specific journey.
Should I verify the information before traveling?
Yes. Use VisaDir as a starting point, then confirm current requirements with your destination’s immigration authority or embassy. Your documents, travel purpose, and personal circumstances can affect the rules that apply.
Is VisaDir free, and can I apply for a visa here?
VisaDir is free to browse without an account. It provides visa information and does not process applications. Apply through the destination’s official service or its designated provider.
