Do not worry, as we have created a step by step guide through which you should be able to get all the information in terms of visa, health and currency of the destination you are planning to visit.

Step # 1 – Visit The IATA travel center page (https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/)

Upon landing on the above link, you will see the below page.

Step # 2 – Choose the destination you wish to visit.

Over here, you can choose the destination on the left hand side by clicking the drop-down arrow.

Step # 3 – Enter the details page.

In this page you need to enter the correct information in order to get the correct information. But if you enter incorrect information, it could end up giving you the wrong information.

Let’s say you want to travel to the United Arab Emirates and you are holding an Indian passport.

After choosing the destination country and clicking the check button. The below page with 3 tabs will open up.

Let’s go through the first tab which is 1, Travel Information.

In this tab, you will have to enter information like

Destination : Example : United Arab Emirates
Departure Country : which in this case is India
Arrival Date : You need to enter the Landing date in United Arab Emirates
Departure Date : Here you need to enter the date of flight when you will leave from your Destination country.
Carrier Code : Enter the Airline you will be using to fly to your destination.
Countries Visited in the last 6 days : Choose the countries you have visited in the last 6 days before leaving for your destination country. (For example in our case, If you have traveled to Argentina in the last 6 days, just double click Argentina on the left hand side of the box and then it will reflect on the right hand side box.)
Duration of stay : just enter the number of days you are planning to spend in the country.
Purpose of the stay : Choose the purpose of the stay mentioned in the options.
Transit Country : You need to be careful over here. Imagine you are flying from Delhi, India to New York, USA on British Airways via London, UK. And you are only holding a USA visit visa. And you have a doubt whether the UK immigration might ask for a UK visa as you are landing in the UK first.

So here you need to enter England or United Kingdom as a transit country.

Do you hold a return/onward ticket? : In case of a visit visa, you need to choose Yes.

Tab # 2 (Enter the personal details)

In this tab, you need to enter your passport details as asked. And then once you click the next page button.
