SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Travelers get refused boarding or turned away at borders because they missed an entry rule, a passport validity requirement, or a new travel authorization system. This Skill checks the current entry requirements for a destination before booking, so the slowest requirement gets started in time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Entry Requirements Lookup: Searches for current entry requirements and passport rules for visitors to a given destination, based on the traveler's nationality. - Change Detection: Searches for recent changes to travel authorization and border systems, such as ETIAS, the EU Entry/Exit System, and the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation. - Prioritized Output: Puts the item with the longest processing time first, distinguishes look-alike rules (passport issue date vs. validity), and says plainly when nothing is needed. - Use Case: An American planning a trip to Europe asks whether they need a visa. The Skill reports the Schengen passport rules (issued within the past ten years, valid three months past departure), the EES fingerprint registration, and the ETIAS authorization timeline, ordered by what must be started first. ## Quick Start Ask what entry requirements and travel authorizations apply for your nationality visiting your destination, for example: do I need a visa or authorization to visit France on a US passport?

Frequently Asked Questions about can-i-get-in

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if I need a visa to visit Europe?▼

State your destination and the passport you hold, and the Skill searches current entry requirements and recent border system changes for that combination. It reports what is needed, what it costs, and how long it takes, ordered by processing time.

What are the Schengen passport validity rules for visitors?▼

For the Schengen area, the passport must have been issued within the past ten years and remain valid three months past the day you leave, and both conditions must hold at once. Airlines enforce this strictly because they pay for deportation flights.

What is the difference between ETIAS and the EU Entry/Exit System?▼

The Entry/Exit System replaced passport stamps at Schengen borders on April 10, 2026 and takes fingerprints and a face scan on first crossing. ETIAS is a separate paid online authorization valid three years, not fully enforced until about a year after it opens.

Does the UK require an Electronic Travel Authorisation for Americans?▼

Yes. Since February 25, 2026 the UK ETA applies to Americans, Canadians, Australians, and all 27 EU nationalities. Every traveler needs their own, including babies, and Eurostar and ferries check it as well as airlines.

Can this Skill apply for a visa or pay for an authorization?▼

No. The Skill is strictly read-only: it never signs in to government, visa, or airline accounts and never applies for, pays for, submits, or buys any authorization. It only reports published requirements.

What happens if an official government page will not load?▼

The Skill states what the requirement was at last check and flags that it needs confirming on the government site. If the rule depends on nationality and none was given, it asks for the passport instead of guessing.
