Compare two destinations

Questions, answered

What does a visa comparison show?

Government fee and all-in cost, decision window, validity, stay allowed, proof of funds, process type (e-visa or sticker), biometrics and a verdict on which suits a given plan.

Can I compare any two countries?

Yes. Pick two destinations and a visa category; the flagship pairs (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Schengen, UAE, Singapore, Japan) have detailed written verdicts.

Which is cheaper, a UK or a Schengen tourist visa?

A Schengen short-stay visa has the lower government fee; the UK visitor visa costs more but is valid for six months with multiple entries. The comparison page shows both side by side.

Are the figures the same as on the destination pages?

Yes. Comparisons read the same fee table and timelines as the destination pages, so the numbers always agree.
