Do I need
a visa?
Your passport, your destination, how long you are staying — and the answer, with the rule exactly as it is published, the month it was checked, and a link to the official source it came from.
Tool
Your passport, your country and your length of stay
Tourist stay. The answer quotes the rule as published for the passport you choose, with the date it was checked.
Why the passport comes first
Most visa pages answer "does country X require a visa" as though the question had one answer. It does not. Vietnam is visa-free for 45 days on a British passport and requires a visa from the first day on a Canadian one. South Korea gives 90 days to one and 180 to another. A rule that does not name a passport is not a rule — it is a number someone remembered.
That is the whole reason this tool asks three questions rather than two, and it is why the answer always arrives with the source it was read from and the month it was read.
What it will not do
It compares a length of stay against a number of exempt days. That is the only thing it calculates. Everything else — the wording of the rule, the cost, the procedure — is shown exactly as published, never rephrased.
This is not excessive caution. A tool that paraphrased an entry rule would eventually invent one, and an invented entry rule gets paid for at a border, not in front of a screen. It is also why it never says "you can enter": only the country's authority decides, and it decides at the desk.
And it will not fill a field it has not read. Where a government portal refuses automated reading, the tool says so and links the portal — rather than borrowing the rule of a passport that happens to be nearby.

"Not taken" means we have not read that rule at an official source, not that no rule exists. The same data is available as JSON under CC BY 4.0, with each rule's source and verification date.
Common questions
Do I need a visa to travel in Asia?
It depends on your passport and on how long you are staying, and the two answers are not related. The same country can be visa-free for 45 days on one passport and require a visa from day one on another — Vietnam is exactly that case. Choose your passport above before reading any number.
Does this tool work for every passport?
It covers 6 passports, and it says plainly when a rule has not been read at an official source rather than guessing. Three government portals refuse automated reading or publish no entry rules; for those, the tool sends you to the portal instead of transposing a neighbouring passport's rule.
Why does it not show the cost for my passport?
Because we have not read it. The fees and the procedure on this site are documented for the French passport — French consular fees, the French portal, French processing times. Showing them under a British or Canadian passport would produce a page that looks impeccable and is wrong, which is worse than an empty field.
How current is the answer?
Every rule carries the month it was read and a link to the source it came from. The sources are re-read every night, and the verification date only moves forward when all of a country's sources have been read without changing. When something does change, the correction is published with the old wording next to it.
