What are visas, how long are they valid for and who needs to apply for them?
A visa is an authorisation to enter and stay in the territory of a foreign country for a specified period of time. A visa’s validity depends on the visa type and the purpose of the trip. International agreements between countries determine whether a foreign visitor must apply for a visa. The visa can only be used until the specified expiry date.
What does a visa look like?
A traditional visa takes the form of a sticker, entry or passport stamp, depending on the individual country's requirements. An e-visa purchased via eSky is in electronic form. This means you won't risk losing it as you can always access it from your phone, computer or tablet. It is worth noting that both types of visa are equally accepted and most countries already offer an e-visa option.
How can I get a visa?
To get your visa, simply apply online, or at the embassy or consulate of your destination country. Some countries allow you to buy a visa on arrival at the airport. However, the quickest and most convenient way is to apply for an e-visa online and you can do this using the panel at the top of this page.
This method enables you to pay for your e-visa application immediately by card or online payment. You will need the serial number of your travel document (usually your passport) to complete the form. You can find the exact visa requirements for your destination country by entering your travel details in the box at the top of this page.
