Why you can trust the answer
Official sources only
Every rule comes from government sites, such as GOV.UK, the EU and US Customs and Border Protection, checked against the traveller's own government too.
Checked every month
Each answer shows the date we last checked it, and every change goes in our public log.
Private by design
Your passport details and trips stay on your device. We never see them.
Independent
We're not a visa agency and never charge for permits. We link straight to the official sites.
