Visa unlock

What your existing visa unlocks

A visa you already hold changes the answer for a dozen countries, and a plain passport-to-country table misses every one of them. Albania waives its visa entirely for someone holding a used multiple-entry Schengen. Mexico waives its visa for a US visa holder. Turkey opens its eVisa to several passports only when a Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa is already in them.

Each answer carries its own status and the government page it came from. Where nobody has confirmed the wording yet, it is listed as possible rather than shown as a green tick. Confirm on the official portal before you book anything.

Check what you hold

Pick your passport and the visas or residence permits you already hold. Any passport, not one we picked for you. Conditions differ: several want a multiple-entry visa, and several want one you have actually travelled on.

Start from what is in your passport

Pick a document and the tool above opens with it selected. Your own passport is the one you choose there, not one we assumed for you.
