Documents required, processing windows, and the visa-free transit options most first-time visitors miss. Updated for 2026.
What to check first
Start with nationality, entry city, and whether your itinerary qualifies for visa-free transit. These three facts determine most of the paperwork.
Documents that matter
Keep passport validity, flight proof, hotel addresses, and invitation details in one folder before you begin the application.
Transit rules
The visa-free transit policy is useful, but it is route-specific. Your onward ticket and city pair matter more than the headline hour count.
