Terms of Use

Effective date: 2026-11-10

These terms explain use of TripColour, operated by Akin8. Publisher details are in the legal notice. Article 12 explains acceptance.

Independent travel information. Not a government website.

1. Purpose

The site helps you look up a starting entry rule for an ordinary passport, short tourist visit and arrival by air. Choose one or two supported passports and a destination, read the answer and expand its conditions and official references. These terms explain use of that information service.

2. What the service is and is not

We publish information, not individual immigration or legal advice. We are not a government authority, embassy, law firm, immigration consultant or visa-application service. We do not issue visas, submit applications, collect application fees, see application records or represent you.

The checker does not assess every personal circumstance, work, study, residence, asylum, all transit requirements or unusual travel documents. Authorities and transport providers make their own decisions. Read the disclaimer.

3. Access and price

The checker and guides are free and do not require an account. Nothing is sold through the checker. Your own connection, device, government application and travel costs remain yours.

4. Information displayed

Public answers use independently compiled factual summaries of official sources, with passport scope, references and checked dates. A source reviewed on a date may change before our next review. We apply a maximum 30-calendar-day verification window; expired, missing, paused or unresolved core eligibility evidence produces "Not verified yet", not an assumed exemption.

Green does not guarantee boarding or admission. Follow the actual label and conditions, including any specifically explained permission granted at the border. Orange may mean a visa, e-visa, electronic authorisation or visa on arrival. Unconfirmed fees, processing times or stay limits are not zero, instant or unlimited.

Before booking and again before departure, check the destination's official guidance, applicable transit rules and your transport provider's requirements. See the methodology.

5. Official sources, links and commercial content

Official entry and application links identify government authorities, not our own application service. Linked websites have their own terms, charges and privacy practices; their names do not imply approval of TripColour.

None of the answer steps contains commercial content. Ads, affiliates, sponsorship, analytics and newsletter signup are currently disabled. Visa-application-service affiliates are excluded. Any future permitted advertisement, sponsorship or affiliate link must be labelled, kept outside the answer and unable to influence a rule. See the advertising disclosure.

6. Your use of the site

Use the site lawfully. Do not disrupt it, introduce malicious code, bypass safeguards, impersonate an authority or falsify source dates and licence notices. Automated bulk copying of protected site content requires written permission, except where applicable law or an open licence permits the use.

Sharing a result link or its disclosed summary is welcome. The link contains selected passport countries, destination and, when needed, the active-passport override in its fragment. Recipients can see these selections. Shared text is a static snapshot; opening its link rechecks the available records. A shared green result is not travel permission.

Review the recipient and app before sharing. Your browser, device or chosen service may retain the text or link; resetting the checker cannot erase those copies. Different passports can carry different citizenship-related entry and exit duties; a comparison is not permission to switch documents.

7. Intellectual property

Original text, design, code and original selection or arrangement of material may be protected by their owners' rights. Entry-rule facts are not our exclusive property. You may link to the site, share a result and use short attributed excerpts as permitted by law.

Third-party licences govern the material they cover and are not restricted by these terms. Flags use flag-icons under MIT and the Manrope typeface uses the SIL Open Font License. Retain applicable notices; see the legal notice and bundled asset licences.

8. Personal information

The privacy policy explains page-side selections, result fragments, optional sharing, necessary hosting information and voluntary email. Using the checker is not consent to marketing. Do not send passport numbers, document scans or other unnecessary sensitive information.

9. Availability and changes

We take reasonable steps to maintain the service, but do not promise uninterrupted access, complete coverage or error-free information. We may correct, pause, update or withdraw a result, and change the service or these terms. The effective date identifies the version; changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights. Any notice or consent required by law still applies.

10. Responsibility and liability

Admission and boarding decisions belong to the relevant authorities and transport provider. A source date, colour or shared summary cannot guarantee a particular outcome. We aim to check and correct information responsibly; no general disclaimer replaces that work.

To the extent lawful, we give no contractual guarantee that information is complete, continuously current or suitable for every trip. Nothing excludes or limits liability for intentional or gross fault, bodily or moral injury, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Mandatory consumer, privacy and other statutory rights remain intact. There is no compulsory arbitration or waiver of access to a court.

11. Governing law and disputes

Quebec law and applicable Canadian federal law govern these terms, subject to mandatory protections that apply where you live. Contact the operator first if you would like an amicable resolution; this does not suspend a legal deadline or prevent a complaint or court action.

The courts of the judicial district of Longueuil, Quebec, may hear a dispute, without removing any mandatory right to use another competent court. The contact is contact@tripcolour.com; see the contact page for contact guidance.

12. Acceptance

Using the site signifies acceptance of these terms to the extent applicable law permits that method of acceptance. Read them before relying on the service; if you do not agree, stop using it. No signature, payment or marketing subscription is required. Mere use does not waive mandatory rights or provide consent to optional personal-information processing.
