Entry requirements by destination
A valid passport is only half the requirement. Most countries also demand a minimum amount of validity left on the book, blank pages for stamps, and increasingly an electronic travel authorization filed days before you board.
See visa requirements by countryKey takeaways
- The six-month rule is the most common trap: many countries want six months of validity beyond your return date.
- Digital authorizations (UK ETA, ETIAS, Australian ETA, NZeTA, Kenya ETA, ETA-IL) are filed online before you fly — they are not visas and are not issued at the airport.
- A passport card never works for international air travel; only the book does.
- Airlines enforce these rules at check-in, so a technically valid passport can still be refused at the gate.
