How it works

For teams managing planning travel windows, entry permit travel window guide delivers a consistent Visa approach and a checklist to confirm your inputs.

entry permit travel window guide was built to make planning travel windows easier to explain. It combines the calculator with guidance on inputs, assumptions, and documentation.

Use the calculator output as a starting point, then confirm any policy exceptions tied to entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk.

If multiple stakeholders are involved, share the inputs and counting rules alongside the result so everyone uses the same timeline.

  1. Confirm the official start date and end date for your scenario.
  2. Select the counting rule that matches entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
  4. Save the result with the inputs and assumptions for reuse.

Examples

  • Example: April 1, 2025 through July 18, 2025 shows the baseline span. Use the breakdown to compare days, weeks, and months.
  • Example scenario: travelers tracking planning travel windows between April 1, 2025 and July 18, 2025 can share the result as a planning baseline.

Why it matters

Why this matters: different jurisdictions apply different counting rules, so clarity reduces compliance surprises.

Informational only, not professional advice.
