FAQ

Is this a government website?

No. Entry Check is an independent reference service. We gather the requirements for your route and send you to the official sites, where you file yourself.

Do you file applications for me?

No. You file on the official website and pay the fee directly to the government — with no markup from us.

Where does the data come from, and how fresh is it?

Only from official sources: immigration authorities, foreign ministries and embassies. A person verifies every rule, and the verification date is on every card. We re-check rules for our main countries at least every 30 days.

What’s in the Trip Pack?

A printable PDF checklist, email reminders the moment each filing window opens, a re-check of your route 72 hours before departure, and an email if the rules change after you buy.

What if the rules change after I buy?

We monitor official sources. If a rule for your route changes, we email you what changed and what to do now.

How do I get a refund?

Reply to any of our emails. If we missed a required document or a link turned out not to be official, we refund you the same day. Details in our refund policy.
