Which entry regime applies to you: the passport decision tree

One passport, one regime

There is no choosing between regimes — each citizenship already has its answer, set by the official MFA entry-regime table ↗ ↗. The decision is a lookup, done in order. Dual citizens hold one lookup per passport — that special case is here.

Step 1 — are you visa-free?

Check the full visa-free list: citizens of 83 countries enter without any visa, most under the 90/180 rule, some with different limits or conditions — and count your allowance with the calculator if you have travelled recently. Visa-free still means documents at the border and insurance with war-risk cover.

Step 2 — if not: are you e-Visa eligible?

If your country is not on the visa-free list, check the e-Visa eligible countries — and confirm with the official form, which answers per passport for today. The e-Visa is an online instrument: up to 30 days, single or double entry, six purposes. Travellers approaching from the e-Visa side ask this same question in reverse — that mirror view is here.

Step 3 — if neither: the consular visa

No visa-free row, no e-Visa eligibility — the consular visa is the route, and it serves any citizenship: who needs it and the document checklist. It is also the route when your *trip* outgrows the short-stay regimes, whatever your passport: work, volunteering, long stays.

The regime does not change the constants

Whichever step answered for you: the passport must be valid and match your row's conditions, the stay must fit your regime's limit, and every day needs insurance with the war-risk element. The regime decides the paperwork before the trip — not the requirements during it.
