Visa categories available

• Visa on arrival

  You apply and pay at the airport or land border on arrival, filling in a form and presenting a photo, return ticket, proof of accommodation and cash. Some countries require an online pre-approval first.

  A fallback for late bookings — expect queues at peak times.

• Tourist visa

  The most common short-stay category, used for sightseeing and visiting family or friends. Typically requires a passport, photo, itinerary, hotel bookings and proof of funds; some countries also require an interview and biometrics.

  When your destination offers no visa-free, VOA or e-Visa route for your passport.

• Transit visa / transit without visa

  Needed when connecting through a third country. Some places offer 24–240 hours of transit without visa (China 240 hours, Singapore 96-hour VFTF, Japan shore pass), usually requiring onward tickets and staying within a designated area.

  Long layovers, airport changes, or a short stopover en route.
