Before you book anything

This is guidance, last confirmed on 26 August 2026, and it is not the source an airline will board you on. Visa rules change without notice and they change for reasons that have nothing to do with you — always confirm with the destination’s embassy or your airline before you travel. Requirements can also depend on why you are going, how long for, and which countries you passed through on the way.
