Before you go

Where your passport takes you

The quiet first question of any journey. Choose the passport you hold and see what each country in the Velori collection asks of you — nothing at all, a form filled in online, or a visa arranged weeks ahead.

Holding two passports? Check both — the easier one is often the one to travel on. Your choice is remembered on this device only.

How to go about a visa

  1. One. Check your passport first: most countries want six months' validity beyond your return date and at least two blank pages.
  2. Two. Apply only through the official government site linked above. Lookalike sites charge several times the real fee for the same form.
  3. Three. Allow time. An online authorisation takes minutes to days; a consular visa with biometrics can take four to eight weeks in season.
  4. Four. Have the usual papers ready: confirmed flights, hotel bookings, travel insurance and recent bank statements.
  5. Five. Book refundable where you can until the visa is granted, and keep the approval on your phone as well as on paper.

Entry rules change often and can differ by purpose of travel, length of stay and where you live. Velori offers this as a starting point, not as legal or immigration advice — always confirm with the official source or the country's embassy before you book. Velori is a digital planning membership; we do not process visas, bookings or payments for travel.

Once you know you can go, choose the month and build the days.
