How to apply

    Confirm your passport meets the validity rules and that your trip is for a purpose this authorisation covers; the covered purposes are listed on this page. Always confirm the details with the issuing authority.

  2. Complete the guided form

    Answer plain-language questions and upload the documents we ask for. We pre-check every field as you go.

  3. We review and submit

    Automated checks and our team verify everything for accuracy, then submit to the relevant authority on your behalf.
