Frequently asked

What is a visa check?

A visa check tells you whether you need a visa to enter a country on your passport, and which type — visa-free, visa on arrival, e-visa/ETA, or a required embassy visa. Enter your nationality and destination in the checker above to see it in seconds.

How do I check if I need a visa online?

Use the free checker at the top of the page: select your passport country and your destination. VISAXS instantly shows your visa requirement and the allowed length of stay, based on up-to-date public data.

Is the visa check free?

Yes. VISAXS is completely free, with no sign-up. We do not process visas — we show the requirement and point you to the official sources.

What does “visa-free” mean?

You can enter by simply showing your passport at the border — nothing to arrange in advance. There is usually a limit on how many days you can stay.

What’s the difference between visa on arrival and e-visa?

Visa on arrival is issued at the airport/border when you land. An e-Visa or ETA is applied for online before you travel.

Visa check vs. visa status — what’s the difference?

A visa requirement check (what VISAXS does) tells you if you need a visa before you travel. Checking your visa application status — whether a visa you already applied for is approved — is done on the official government portal of that country (for example its MOI or MOFA) using your passport number. VISAXS does not track application status.

How current is the data?

The dataset was updated in Jul 2026 from public sources. Visa rules change — always confirm with the embassy before you travel.
