Visa exemption

Prepare and verify

  1. Verify that the official exemption covers your passport, purpose, duration and any relevant residence conditions.
  2. Check whether travel authorisations, arrival declarations or supporting evidence are required despite the exemption.

Your next checks

  1. Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
  2. List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
  3. Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
  4. If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.
What else should I know?

Visa-free travel is not unconditional entry or permission to work. Check the permitted activities, duration and exceptions before travelling.
