How to use this table

  • Apply a few days before you travel: most are approved within minutes, but some take longer.
  • An authorization is tied to your passport: a new passport needs a new application.
  • An authorization lets you board; the border officer still decides whether you enter.

Before you rely on it

  • Fees and rules change, and new schemes start: the date each row was checked is in the sources.
  • Who needs one depends on your nationality; the official page of each scheme lists who does.
