Entry requirements, tracked

Governments publish the rules. Nobody publishes what changed.

Every visa page on the internet tells you what the rule is today. Almost none of them tell you it was different last month — which is the only part that costs you a flight. This is a dated record of what actually moved, checked against the government's own page rather than against another visa site.

15 schemes · every figure re-checked 14 August 2026

What you need

Pick where you're going. You get the scheme, the current fee, how long it lasts, and a direct link to the government site that issues it. Nothing here is a booking form and nothing is sold.

Staying longer

The visas for working remotely from somewhere for months rather than days. This matters more than it used to: now that Europe's EES counts your days at the border automatically, quietly running past 90 is no longer something you get away with.

Read this first

We publish what the government published, with a link to the page it came from. We don't assess your situation, we don't tell you which visa to apply for, and we're not immigration advisers — that's regulated work in most countries and this isn't it. Requirements below are the published minimums, not a prediction that you'd be approved.

What changed

Newest first. Each entry links the government page it came from. Where a fee moved, the old figure is shown struck through — because the old figure is what you'll find nearly everywhere else.

What's wrong out there — including on government sites

The case for tracking changes isn't theoretical. These are live pages, checked on 14 August 2026, publishing figures that are simply no longer true. Three of them belong to governments.

Apply on the government site. Never anywhere else.

Every scheme on this page is applied for directly, by you, on a government website, for the fee shown. There is no step a middleman is needed for.

Lookalike sites buy the top search results and charge a markup on top of the real fee — sometimes several times it. They are usually legal, and they are always unnecessary. Two governments say so themselves: Canada's IRCC banners "It only costs CAN$7", and Korea's Ministry of Justice states it "has not delegated the service of the K-ETA application to any agencies."

One that isn't merely a markup: ETIAS is not open yet. No applications are being collected anywhere. Any site accepting an ETIAS application or payment today is taking money for something that does not exist.
