About the Visa Wizard

Does a tourist visa allow you to work or study in another country?

No, a tourist visa does not allow you to work, study or stay long-term in another country but it's a starting point to learn more as you consider your options. Visiting a destination can give you the chance to learn more about potential jobs or education opportunities.

If I don't need a tourist visa for my destination, does that mean I can work or study there?

No, even if you do not require a tourist visa for your destination, that does not mean you can work or study there. A long-term stay in another country typically requires a special visa or permit.

How does the WakaWell Visa Wizard get its data?

The WakaWell Visa Wizard gathers visa information in two ways:

  1. Automated Data: It connects to the Visa Checker API (created by Zyla), which provides automatic updates on tourist visa requirements for select destinations.
  2. Curated Links: The WakaWell team has compiled links to official sources for additional visa details. These sources are independent of WakaWell and IOM.

Please note that visa rules can change, so always verify with official sources before traveling.

When was the visa information last updated?

The Visa Wizard uses two sources for its data:

  1. Visa Checker API: Updates automatically to provide the latest tourist visa requirements.
  2. Curated Links: Last reviewed and updated in November 2024.

While we strive to keep information accurate, visa rules can change, so we recommend double-checking with official sources before your trip.
