Visa Requirements by Passport
Visa requirements by passport depend on the passport you hold, not on where you live or where you fly from. The same trip can need no paperwork for one traveller and an online approval or a visa for another. Pick your passport below for a quick answer for each destination we cover: the visa rule, the passport rule, what to do before you fly and a link to the official source.
Last checked: 28 October 2026. Each passport page shows when we last checked its sources, and every country card links to the official government source. Rules can change at any time, so confirm with the official source and your airline before you book.
This is a guide, not official advice. Entry rules change often and the border officer has the final say, so please check the official government source linked on each card, and your airline, before you book or travel.

How Visa Requirements by Passport Differ
Countries set their entry rules by nationality, so two travellers on the same flight can face different paperwork. At our last check, Canadians and Americans needed an Electronic Travel Authorisation before flying to the United Kingdom, while British citizens heading to the United States needed an ESTA or a visa, and most Canadians needed no tourist visa for the United States.
Other destinations split the same way. Brazil and Vietnam asked Canadians and Americans for an e-visa, while British citizens could enter Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days and Vietnam for up to 45 days. Canada asks British citizens who fly in for an eTA but not Americans, and South Korea allowed Canadians up to 180 days against 90 for Americans and British citizens. Rules like these change, so always confirm on the passport page and the official source it links to before you book.
How to Choose the Right Page
Use the page for the passport you will show at the border. If you hold two passports, read both pages, because some countries require their own citizens to enter and leave on their national passport. Each page has a check on second passports that covers the main cases.
If your passport is not listed yet, start with your own government's travel advice, then confirm with the destination's official immigration site. We add passports as we can verify them against official sources.
What Each Passport Page Covers
Each of our visa requirements by passport pages lists the 22 destinations we cover, other than the home country of the passport. They are grouped by region: Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Oceania.
Every card gives four things: the visa rule and how long you can stay, the passport rule, what to do before you fly, and a link to the official government source with the date that source was last updated. Labels are colour-coded: blue for no tourist visa needed, amber for an electronic travel authorization and rose for a visa.
How We Keep These Pages Current
We check each country against the official government source for that passport: the Government of Canada for Canadians, the US State Department for Americans, the UK government for British citizens and the Australian Government's Smartraveller for Australians. Where that advice links to them, we also use the destination's own immigration or e-visa website. Each page shows the date we last checked.
This is general information for citizens travelling on a regular passport, not legal or immigration advice. If a page ever differs from an official source, trust the official source, and please tell us so we can fix it.
