Do I need an (e)-visa and what type?

Are you travelling outside of the European Union? Then you might need a visa, eTA or ESTA. Whether you need it and what type it should be depends on your destination, your nationality and your travel purpose.

What is a visa or eTA?

A visa is an authorisation to enter a country. The destination country can use the visa procedure to screen all incoming travellers and exclude any unwanted individuals. In the past, a visa was always a paper document, which was often stamped in the passport at a consulate or embassy. These days, applying for many visas and other travel authorisations can be quickly and easily done online.

An e-visa is a PDF document which is sent by e-mail

An e-visa is an electronic visa. Applying can be done through the digital application form. Sometimes, it is also necessary to upload certain documents, such as a passport scan, passport photo or business card. The immigration services perform a screening based on your information and documents. If everything is in order, your e-visa is generated. You need to print it yourself and take it with you on your trip. This way, you can prove that your application was approved.
