1
Visa-free isn’t unlimited
You usually get a set number of days (often 30–90). Overstaying risks fines or entry bans — note the limit.
2
“On arrival” still costs time
You can enter, but expect a queue and a fee at the border — carry cash and a passport photo.
3
eTA / eVisa before you fly
Some easy countries still need an online approval days ahead — apply early; airlines check it at boarding.
4
The six-month passport rule
Many countries refuse entry if your passport expires within six months — renew well before you travel.
🧾
Before you go
Onward ticket
Border agents and airlines often want proof you’ll leave — a return or onward booking usually does it.
Blank passport pages
Some countries need one or two empty pages for the entry stamp — check before you fly.
Funds and an address
You may be asked for proof of funds and where you’re staying — keep a hotel booking handy.
Confirm at the source
Rules change. Double-check the country’s official immigration site close to your travel date.
