What visa help does not mean
Tourpochele is not an embassy or immigration authority. We cannot approve a visa, guarantee the success or timing of an application, waive a requirement, provide legal immigration advice or guarantee admission at the border. Requirements can differ by nationality, residence, route, travel purpose and length of stay.

Questions to check for every journey

- 2Is a transit visa required at any connection point?
- 3Must the passport remain valid for a specified period after travel?
- 4Are blank passport pages required?
- 5Must the traveller show onward travel, accommodation, funds, sponsorship or insurance?
- 6Are vaccinations or other health documents required?
- 7Does a minor need consent or birth documentation?
- 8Must the application be completed before a flight is purchased?
05
Use official sources
The final check should be made with the embassy, consulate, official immigration website, authorised visa application centre and the operating airline. Social-media posts, old screenshots and another traveller’s experience may be incomplete or out of date.
06
Before purchasing a restrictive ticket
If visa approval is pending, ask about fare flexibility and whether the ticket is refundable or changeable. A visa refusal does not automatically make a non-refundable ticket refundable. Any exception depends on the airline’s written fare rules and decision.
