Visa eligibility check: find the visas you qualify for in two minutes
Check your visa eligibility based on your passport, destination and travel purpose. Explore available routes, requirements and estimated application costs.
What is a visa eligibility check?
A visa eligibility check tells you, before you spend anything, whether your passport, purpose of travel, funds and travel history fit the visa you want, which visa route is the right one, what it will cost all-in and how long the decision should take. Vistolane's checker runs in about two minutes, needs no sign-in and covers 52 destinations for Indian passport holders and other nationalities.
How the online visa eligibility check works
- Your passport and destination. Pick the passport you travel on and where you want to go. The checker loads the verified visa rule for that pair: visa-free, visa on arrival, e-visa or embassy visa.
- Purpose and dates. Tourism, visiting family, business, study or work. Each purpose maps to a visa route with its own evidence standard and processing window.
- Funds and ties. A few questions on income, savings, employment and family. Officers weigh these first, so the score does.
- Travel history. Previous visas, refusals and overstays. A refusal is not disqualifying, but it changes the file you should build.
- Your result. A score out of 100, the routes you qualify for, the all-in cost, the documents you will need and a guaranteed filing date if you apply through Vistolane.
What the eligibility check looks at
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Passport | Decides whether you need a visa at all, and which format: e-visa, sticker or embassy interview |
| Purpose of travel | Each purpose has its own visa route and evidence standard |
| Funds | Officers compare your bank balance and income with the trip length and destination |
| Ties to home | Employment, family and property show you will return; weak ties are the most common refusal reason |
| Travel history | Previous visas and clean exits raise approval odds; refusals need to be explained |
| Timing | The published processing window and appointment availability decide whether your dates are realistic |

Questions, answered
Is the visa eligibility check free?
Yes. The check is free, takes about two minutes and does not require an account. Create a free account only if you want to save the result, the document checklist or start an application.
How accurate is the eligibility score?
The visa rules, fees and processing times come from the issuing authorities and are re-verified regularly. The score weighs the factors officers publish as decisive: funds, ties, purpose and history. It is a strong indicator, not a decision; only the government decides a visa.
Does the check cover every country?
It covers the 52 destinations in the Vistolane catalogue, including the UK, Schengen states, Canada, the USA, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, Japan and Thailand, for Indian passports first and more than 30 other nationalities.
Can I check eligibility for a student or work visa?
Yes. Choose study or work as the purpose; the checker switches to that route's evidence standard (offer letter and funds for study, sponsor and salary threshold for work) and shows the matching requirements.
What happens if my score is low?
The result lists the factors that lowered it and what would change them: a longer statement history, a stronger employment letter or a different visa format. You can re-run the check any time, and a Vistolane specialist can review the file before you apply.
