What this page helps you decide

The application is only one part of the journey. At arrival, the passport, preliminary document and travel evidence should be easy to retrieve.

Check passport validity and blank pages before departure. If travelling with a child, carry the relevant birth and parental-consent documents when required.

Prepare the right evidence

Carry the passport used in the application, a printed copy of the preliminary eVisa or ETA document, accommodation or host details and return or onward travel evidence.

Keep the purpose accurate

Border staff apply the entry conditions for the journey. A digital approval or ETA does not remove arrival checks.
