What this means
Visa-free entry means there is nothing to apply for before you travel. You board with your passport, and a border officer admits you on arrival for a stay of up to 30 days. Admission is always at the officer's discretion — visa-free is not a right of entry.
Visa-free visits cover tourism and, in most countries, ordinary business trips (meetings, conferences). They do not allow you to take up employment or long-term study — those need a proper visa or permit arranged in advance.
Before you travel
- Passport validity: many countries require your passport to be valid 3–6 months beyond your stay, with at least one blank page.
- Border officers can ask for a return or onward ticket, accommodation details, and proof of funds — have them reachable.
- These rules cover short tourist/business visits on an ordinary passport. Work, study, residence, journalism, and diplomatic travel follow different rules.
- Connecting through another country? Check that country's transit rules separately.
