Entry requirements
Pick your passport and where you are going. We point you to official places to check, because we do not hold visa or entry rules.
Visa and entry rules change, and SkimFlight does not hold them. We will not tell you whether you need a visa. Always confirm with the official sources below and with your airline before you book or fly.

Checklist for any trip
- Check your passport's validity
Many countries want a minimum amount of validity left on arrival, and some want blank pages. The rule differs by country, so look up the exact figure for your destination and every transit stop.
- Check each transit country too
A connection can have its own rules, especially if you change airports, collect and re-check bags, or leave the airport. Check the rules for every country on your route, not only the last one.
- Ask whether you need a visa or an online authorisation
Some countries require a visa, an e-visa or a travel authorisation before you fly. These can take days or weeks to arrive and often cost money, so apply early and only on the official site.
- Keep proof of onward travel and where you are staying
Border officers or airlines may ask for a return or onward ticket, a booking, or proof of funds. Carry them in a form you can show offline.
- Airlines can refuse boarding
If your documents are not in order, the airline can deny boarding, and the ticket is often not refunded. Confirm the requirements with your airline before you travel.
- Check health and customs rules
Some destinations ask for vaccination certificates or limit medicines and cash you can bring in. These are published by the destination's government.
- Re-check close to departure
Rules can change after you book. Look again a few days before you fly.
