Do you need a visa?
Every passport, every destination — visa-free, eTA, e-visa, visa on arrival or a full visa, with the stay you're allowed. The same verified data the CarryOn app runs on.
Every passport, every destination — the same data the CarryOn app uses, with eTA, e-visa and visa-on-arrival distinctions and stay-day arithmetic. Free lookups are limited; an account makes them unlimited.
How this works
How many free checks do I get?
3 free lookups on this device. Confirm your email and you get another. After that, a free CarryOn account makes them unlimited.
Where does this data come from?
CarryOn maintains its own visa requirements table rather than proxying a third-party API. Rows are refreshed on a schedule and corrections made by our team are never overwritten by the refresh. Where we have no verified answer for a pair, the checker says so instead of guessing — and that check does not count against your free lookups.
What do the results mean?
Six outcomes: visa-free, electronic travel authorisation (eTA), e-visa, visa on arrival, visa required, or entry not permitted. Where the source states a stay limit we show it — for example "90d per 180d" means ninety days within any rolling one-hundred-and-eighty-day window.
China, plainly
The most-asked case, generated from the same verified dataset the checker above uses.
