How do I obtain a visa?

Visa requirements vary depending on your destination and nationality. Here’s how to get started:

Check with official sources

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, contact your local embassy or consulate. Their websites often include detailed visa requirements, forms, and processing timelines for your destination.

Use TourRadar’s visa partner

If you already have a booking, you can start the visa process directly through your Booking Conversation Page by selecting the “Purchase e-Visa” option. This links you to our trusted partner, Sherpa, which provides visa guidance and application services for many destinations.

Additional tips

  • Check your trip notes for important details like entry/exit points, which may be required during the visa application.

  • If your operator needs to provide supporting details, message them via your Booking Conversation Page.
  • Start early — some visas take several weeks to process

  • Always double-check your visa requirements even if you’ve traveled to the destination before
