What your passport gets you

Pick the passport you hold and where you are going. You get the category, the days on entry, whether it extends, and the instrument that grants it. Then what to do if you want to stay longer.

The category is translated. The note under each answer is published in English, and the figures are the same in every language.

If you want to stay longer

Entry rules are the front door. Every country below also has long stay routes, which are separate instruments with their own thresholds, renewal rules and settlement outcomes. The country hub is where each one is set out.

How this is put together

Each country publishes its own rules as one instrument listing who gets what. We store the rules by destination for that reason. When Thailand cut its exemption from 93 nationalities to 60 in September 2026, one record changed and every passport answer updated with it.

Seventeen destinations are enumerated from their own published lists, from Hong Kong at 193 nationality entries and Turkey at 197 down to the Maldives, which grants the same thirty days to every passport and so needs no list at all. Four carry one hedged edge and say so on the answer. Indonesia, Cambodia, Macau and the UAE each have a category named, the day count withheld where the source does not state it, and the answer points at the page that settles it.

What this is not

This is a guide, not a border decision. Airlines check Timatic at the gate, and an immigration officer can refuse entry on facts this page cannot see, including onward travel, funds, accommodation and your own history. Where the rules matter to a booking, check the mission page and the airline before you fly.

All twenty one countries on this site now have entry rules, so the selector no longer has gaps. Turkey was the largest single pull at one hundred and ninety seven nationalities, each read from the foreign ministry own country by country list rather than from a summary.
