- Visa on arrival Buy or stamp at the airport on landing. Bring USD cash, photos, and patience.
- eVisa / eTA Apply online before you fly. Approval is usually 24–72 hours; print or save the email.
- Visa required Embassy appointment, fees, supporting docs. Plan 2–8 weeks ahead.
Before you book

- Onward ticket: visa-free entry usually requires proof you'll leave (return or onward flight).
- Schengen 90/180: if Europe is on the list, check our Schengen calculator too.
- Always cross-check: embassy or government site is authoritative — this tool is a starting point.
