Entry requirements

Don't let a visa slip past you while you build the booking

The entry requirement check of the management software for travel agencies.

As you pick each passenger's nationality and the trip's destinations, Tripwise cross-references 37,056 combinations and tells you right there whether that person needs a visa, an ETA or a passport. It is guidance: the final word belongs to the consulate.

A warning on the passenger's record, not a separate lookup

The check shows up where you are already working, with no other screen and no other website.

It fires on its own, from two fields you already filled in

Nothing to look up. The passenger's nationality and the countries of the booking's destinations are enough: the warning appears under that person while you are entering them, and updates if you change the nationality or add a destination.

  • Passenger nationality
  • Booking destinations
  • Warning in the same form

Five distinct warnings, depending on what is needed

Every combination lands on a specific case and the warning says so in those words: the passenger requires a VISA, requires an E-VISA, requires an ETA, must obtain a visa on arrival, or is refused entry. It is not a generic traffic light, it tells you which step is missing.

  • Visa, e-visa and ETA
  • Visa on arrival
  • Refused entry

Plus the passport warning, when an ID card isn't enough

Across the Mercosur agreement, a national of a member or associated state can enter on their national identity card. Tripwise knows those ten countries and, when the destination falls outside the bloc, warns that this passenger needs a passport.

  • Mercosur ID-card agreement
  • Ten countries in the bloc
  • Passport warning outside the bloc

It clears itself once the document is on file

The warning doesn't nag forever. If the passenger already has the visa on their record, the visa warning disappears; if they have the passport, the passport one does. The only exception is refused entry, which no document will silence.

  • Cleared by the document on file
  • Nothing to dismiss by hand
  • Refused entry always shown

37,056 combinations, 193 nationalities

The matrix crosses every nationality against every destination and sorts the result into six requirement types, from visa-free to refused entry. It ships preloaded, so the warning is instant and doesn't depend on calling an external service while you work.

  • 193 nationalities by 192 destinations
  • Six requirement types
  • Instant, with no external lookup

It is guidance, and it is meant to be

This is operational help so a requirement doesn't slip past you in a rush, not immigration advice. The data comes from a public reference dataset and describes the general tourism and short-stay case. Final verification belongs to the consulate or embassy of the destination country. The warning never blocks the booking.

  • Not immigration advice
  • Tourism and short stays
  • Never prevents saving the booking

Frequently asked questions

Entry requirements in Tripwise

What we get asked most about visas and documentation.

No. It is operational help so a requirement doesn't slip past you while you build the booking, not immigration advice. The data comes from a public reference dataset and describes the general tourism and short-stay case. Final verification always belongs to the consulate or embassy of the destination country, and confirming it stays with the agency and the passenger.

From a public dataset of entry requirements by passport, loaded as a snapshot inside the system. It updates when we publish a new version, not live: if a country changed its rules last week, that change may not be reflected yet. That is why the warning is guidance and why it is worth confirming in sensitive cases.

No. The requirements it shows correspond to tourism and short stays. A trip for work, study, medical treatment or a long stay may require a different process that Tripwise does not assess. It also does not calculate whether the trip length exceeds the permitted stay, nor does it account for dual nationality or residency.

It doesn't assess them. The check crosses the passenger's nationality against the destinations you loaded on the booking; a connection in a third country is not part of the calculation, even though some countries require a transit visa. If the itinerary has long layovers or an airport change, review that separately.

No. The warning is informational and does not prevent saving: the decision stays with the seller, who may be entering a booking for someone whose visa is already being processed. Once the passenger has the document on their record, the warning clears itself. The only exception is the refused-entry warning, which is never silenced.
