A connection can need its own travel authorization: the US has no airside transit, Canada asks for an eTA even to change planes, the UK exempts only travelers who stay airside at Heathrow and Manchester (for now), and Auckland needs an NZeTA. Add everyone's passport, your connections and your date to see who needs what, and by when.
Choose up to 3 airports where you change planes. We check connections in the US, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.
A connection can need its own authorization, even if you never leave the airport. We check every listed connection, not just where you land.
Mixed passports need different things. Add each traveller to see who needs what, then start one application for everyone who needs the same thing (each traveller still gets their own authorization).
Add your date to see the latest day to apply. The date allows for our processing and a decision that usually takes up to 72 hours; we never promise the government will be faster.
Yes, if you travel on a Visa Waiver Program passport. The US has no airside transit: Visa Waiver nationals need an ESTA (or a visa) even to change planes. Most other passports need a US visa; US, Canadian and Bermudian citizens need neither.
Travellers from eTA-required countries need an eTA to transit through a Canadian airport. Travellers who need a visa for Canada need a transit visa for stops of up to 48 hours, unless a transit-without-visa programme applies to them. US citizens and US permanent residents need neither.
Not if you stay airside: travellers transiting through Heathrow or Manchester without going through UK passport control do not currently need an ETA. The exemption is temporary. If you go through passport control, you need one. Travellers who need a UK visa may need a transit visa even airside.
To transit Auckland you must hold a passport from a visa waiver or transit visa waiver country (or be travelling to or from Australia), stay in the transit area for no more than 24 hours, and hold an NZeTA. Transit passengers do not pay the visitor levy.
No. Charta Visa is an independent private company. This free tool explains official rules; you can always apply directly on the government sites.
Charta Visa is an independent private service, not a government agency. These answers come from official rules; airlines and border officers make the final check, and a travel authorization lets you board but does not guarantee entry.
