Before you go
- Check that your passport is valid for the whole stay, and ideally for 3 to 6 months beyond it. Many countries enforce this at the border.
- Visa-free entry normally covers tourism and short business visits. Work, study or a longer stay usually needs a different permit.
- Keep a return or onward ticket and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for them.
