Understanding Visa Types
Visa-Free
No visa required before travel. Simply arrive with your valid passport. The easiest option — just book and go. Entry requirements are checked at the border on arrival.
eVisa (Electronic Visa)
Apply online before you travel. Usually approved within 24–72 hours. No embassy visit needed. You receive your visa electronically, linked to your passport number.
Visa on Arrival
Obtain your visa at the airport or border when you land. May require payment in local currency or card. Processing times vary but are typically under 30 minutes.
Important Notes for UK eVisa Holders
Passport Nationality Matters
The countries listed above are generally accessible to UK eVisa holders regardless of passport nationality. However, some destinations may have additional requirements or restrictions based on your passport country. Always check with the relevant embassy or consulate before booking.
What to Carry When Travelling
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity (some countries require this)
- eVisa share code — generate this from your UKVI account before departure
- Return or onward flight booking (often required for visa-free entry)
- Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host details)
- Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements or cash)
- Travel insurance (strongly recommended for all trips)
Schengen Area & EU Countries
The Schengen Area and most EU countries are not visa-free for UK eVisa holders. You will need to apply for a separate Schengen visa through the embassy of your main destination country. This applies to popular destinations like France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and others.
