Visa planning guide
A structured way to plan multi-country travel without last-minute surprises.
Start with your passport map
Use the visa tool to identify which countries are visa-free, which need an eVisa, and which require embassy processing. That list becomes your initial route map.
Sequence by processing time
Group destinations by visa type. Begin with eVisa and embassy applications, and use visa-on-arrival countries as flexible buffers in your itinerary.
Watch entry windows
Some approvals are valid for a short entry window. Align your flights so you do not enter too early or too late. Keep a timeline with application date, approval date, and entry deadline.
Border preparation checklist
- Printed approval copies for eVisas and visas on arrival.
- Proof of accommodation and onward travel.
- Cash or payment method for border fees.
- Vaccination certificates for yellow fever where required.
Build a flexible plan
Keep a small set of backup destinations within the same region. If a visa takes longer than expected, you can adjust the route without losing time.
Keep records clean
Save every approval email, payment receipt, and entry stamp photo. Having these ready helps if a border officer asks for confirmation.
