How it works

Three steps. Nothing you do not need.

  1. 1

    Scan your passport

    Your details are read from the passport page (MRZ + chip-ready) and shown to you to confirm, not retyped.

  2. 2

    Checked before you pay

    Eligibility, category, validity and the exact official fee for your nationality are confirmed in the open, with the sources.

  3. 3

    Pay, then track

    Only the Government fee. Track each status step to the decision, then prepare your arrival card and health declaration from the same account.
