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.

Nah

01Why nah

  • AI can be confidently wrong about them.
  • Official embassy and government sites are the only reliable source.

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
