Entry requirements and travel tips

Entry procedures and local pitfalls, organised by country.

This is not just a list of links: each page carries the actual rule and the practical preparation for it. Read only the ones you need.

Some things can only be done before you leave

Pre-registering an entry declaration, or a tax-refund procedure, becomes much harder after arrival because of connectivity and opening hours. The 41 guides below collect exactly those items, country by country.

Once your dates are fixed, open the guide for your country first and check whether anything needs registering in advance — and finish it at least a day before departure.
