About TripColour
Independent entry information for short tourist trips, with plain answers and official sources.
Last updated: 10 November 2026.
Check which entry permission your tourist trip may need.
TripColour is the trade name under which Akin8 offers a free tourist-entry checker.
Independent travel information. Not a government website.
Why it exists
Finding the right official entry guidance can take several searches, especially when you hold two passports. We bring the starting rule, its limits and its source into one result, without asking you to create an account.
The checker is for ordinary-passport holders planning short tourist visits by air. It is designed especially for travellers from Canada, the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand visiting destinations abroad.
What you can do
Choose one or two supported passport countries, choose a destination, then read the result. Green and orange answers explain the permission category; "Not verified yet" means we cannot give a current, supported answer. Expand the details for conditions, each passport's evidence and official links.
The current release supports 36 passport countries and includes independently checked routes across 142 destinations. Coverage is specific to each passport and destination, not a promise that every combination is verified. Sources have their own checked dates and expire under our 30-day review policy.
You can share the displayed summary and result link, or copy just the link. They include selected passport countries and the destination, plus the selected passport view when relevant. Shared text is a snapshot, not an updated travel clearance; opening the link runs the check again.
What we do not do
We are not a government website, visa application service, law firm or immigration adviser. We do not submit applications, collect application fees, access your application or decide whether you can board or enter.
A green answer is not guaranteed admission. Some results specifically say "No advance visa needed" while explaining an eligibility-dependent permission granted at the border. Orange can cover an electronic authorisation or visa on arrival, not just an embassy visa. Read the actual wording and how we check.
Where the service is offered
The site is an online information publication based in Quebec, Canada. The site is currently in English and covers the supported passports and tourist-entry routes shown in the checker. It does not assess work, study, residence, every transit route or individual immigration histories.
Our commitments
- Transparency: show the method, official references, checked dates and material uncertainty rather than invent a confident answer.
- Independence: no commercial content in the answer steps and no payment for a preferred rule. Visa-application-service affiliate links are excluded. Ads, affiliates, sponsorship, analytics and newsletter signup are currently off; see the advertising disclosure.
- Privacy: no account, checker cookies or activity tracking. Selections stay in the page and its result fragment; sharing and external services have their own limits, explained in the privacy policy.
- Clear terms: explain the service and preserve your mandatory rights in the terms of use.
