Traveldoc has uptodate information, including covid related restrictions and additional documents.
One of the most reliable options is to query the Timatic database:
You enter your nationality, your destination and (optionally) other details such as your transit airports and duration of stay. The next page will then show if you need a visa or not, as well as additional requirements:
Airline agents will use the same information to decide if you can be allowed on-board, so if the Timatic website says you’re okay to go, you can also be sure the airline won’t have any issues.
Beyond the websites listed already, of which IATA Travel Centre seems to be the most useful, I am aware of two airline websites that allow indirect access to the Timatic:
and
as well as one very detailed interface (shared by @MichaelHampton in chat)
For the UK, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office retains a page on traveller advice, including entry requirements. This is obviously not as broadly useful as the IATA site, but helpful for those with British passports.
Following a link on the delta page you gave, I found visacentral.com, and I tried some examples and it told me correctly if I need or not a visa regarding my nationality and the target country (I didn’t go further).
Otherwise, you should look for info on the website of embassies of your country in the country you want to visit.
What is your nationality?
(In France we have a governmental website which give info about every country.)
Wikipedia has extensive updated information on this. However make sure to double-check their information as all of it is sourced by volunteers.
Here is the page for visa requirements for Indian passport holders.
Also, other users may want to check the visa requirements for most nationalities and visa policy by country.
A bonus is their visual maps, such as this one for visa requirements for Australian nationals:
I think it depends. If your nationality is from a big country like US, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc. then there are quite a few good sites.
But I always have the problem that I can’t find any resource at all, even if I check the homepage of each country to see if a Visa is required. Small countries are often just not mentioned.
So I think the answer to this question really depends on your nationality.
A resource that I find useful:
IATA provides just such a resource.
It is incredibly thorough, and takes care of transit visa requirements as well as cases where you live in a country different from your citizenship (this may affect visa requirements for third countries).
The information provided is based on IATA’s Timatic database which is used by nearly every airline in the world for determining passenger travel document requirements.
Yes! I found projectvisa.com relatively recently.
Seems pretty accurate. It links to duration of landing visas by country, as well as general info.
VisaHQ is the best website I have found for that. Go to the “Visas” part, select your destination, then choose your citizenship and country of residence. Or just go to their “citizens” page and youl’ll have a list of every country and if it requires a visa or not based on your citizenship.
