Can AI tell me if I need a visa?
Nah. Entry rules change and depend on your passport, destination and trip purpose, and a wrong answer can get you turned away at the airport. Use official government sources. AI can help you list what to check.
01Why nah
- Entry requirements change often, sometimes with little notice.
- AI can be confidently wrong about them.
- Official embassy and government sites are the only reliable source.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
