For travellers
A weekend away, a family holiday or a loop through a few countries. StudentFlow turns it into one checklist: the official entry pages, documents, flights, stays, cover, eSIM and money, then the way home. It links the official page for every entry rule and never says whether you will need or get a visa.

Who it’s for
Going anywhere in the world? Pick the country and we build the checklist. Travelling for work? See the professional planner. Moving for good? See the newcomer planner. See how all five planners compare.
Time off, away from it all: beaches, mountains, family fun.
A longer break from work and routine. The official visitor page for your destination says what a visit for tourism can include. Book once you have read it, and keep bookings changeable until you are sure.
Read the guideA few days in one city: sights, food, a change of scene.
A few days in one city. Short trips leave little room for surprises, so check the passport and entry pages first, and plan the airport transfer and the first night before you fly.
Read the guideA trip that crosses a border or two.
A trip that crosses a border or two. Each country sets its own entry rules, and areas such as Schengen have shared pages of their own. Check every stop, not just the first one.
Read the guideFriends or relatives, perhaps staying with them.
Time with people you know, perhaps staying with them. Some official checklists ask where you will stay, and for an invitation. Never rely on a letter to promise approval.
Read the guideWe will point you to the official pages.
A mix of the above, or you are not sure yet. We point you to the official tools and suggest asking the official website or a licensed adviser before you spend money.
Read the guideHow it works
Five phases, in order. Your dates count back from the day you fly, and each task links to the official page or the guide that matters.
Before you book anything
Check the official entry pages for your passport and for every country on the trip.
While you prepare
Passport, tickets, stay details and the papers the official page lists, with copies.
Once you know you can go
Flights, a stay, cover, an eSIM and money, in a sensible order.
While you are away
Arrive with your papers in hand, get around safely and keep an eye on your money.
On the way back
Customs, receipts, photos and cancelling what you no longer need.
Destinations
Any country works. Four have a curated page that lists the official pages by trip type, a five-phase plan, costs to plan for and the services travellers usually need. Every other country gets a general checklist that links its official pages.
GOV.UK entry pages by trip type and a plan for the whole trip.
IRCC visa and eTA pages, CBSA border pointers and a plan for the whole trip.
Home Affairs visitor pages, Border Force pointers and a plan for the whole trip.
Federal Foreign Office visa pages, EU border-system pointers and a plan for the trip.
The journey estimator turns a country and a start month into your steps, dates and documents. No account needed.
Good to know
Short answers, with a guide behind each one. The official page for your destination always has the final word.
Entry rules depend on your passport, the purpose of your trip and the rules at the time. The official visa-check tool gives the answer for your own case. Forums, friends and agents can be out of date, so use them for ideas and the official page for facts.
Entry rules for Indian passport holdersCheck the passport against the destination’s official entry page well before you book, because rules about validity and blank pages differ by country. Keep copies in separate places and make sure names and dates match across passport, tickets and stays.
Passport and documents checklistEach country sets its own entry rules, and a shared area such as Schengen has its own official pages for short stays, tracking time spent and travel authorisations. Check every stop, and check the order of stops, before you book anything non-refundable.
Multi-country trips and Schengen pointersWe don’t decide that for you. Some official checklists ask about cover, and cover can matter for medical care, cancellations and delays. Read what a policy excludes, and what you must do to claim, before you buy.
Travel insurance basicsUse authorised providers, compare the rate and the fee together, tell your bank before you travel and carry a second way to pay. Cash and goods above the border authority’s limits must be declared, so read its page.
Money and cards abroadCheck that your phone supports eSIM, install the profile on Wi-Fi before you fly, and keep your Indian number reachable for bank codes. Compare data allowance, coverage and hotspot rules rather than price alone.
eSIM and staying connectedPlan the first journey from the airport before you land, use official or well-reviewed transport, and share your plans with someone at home. Save the nearest Indian mission’s details and local emergency numbers on your phone.
Getting around safely abroadIndia’s customs rules apply to what you bring back, and the destination’s border page says what you may take out and what to declare. Read both before you shop, and keep receipts for anything you may need to show or claim.
Returning home and customsHonest by design
Immigration advice is a regulated activity, and it should be. So we stay on the side of the line where we can be most useful: organising the trip and pointing to the official sources.
Services
Everything on your checklist works without buying anything. These are the services people most often want beside the step they belong to. Booking is optional.
Compare fares, baggage and changes, and keep the passport and entry steps in view before you pay.

VerifiedQuick answers
It is for people planning a short trip or a holiday: a weekend city break, a family holiday, a trip through a few countries, or time with friends and relatives. You tell us the country, the type of trip and your dates, and we turn it into one checklist from the official entry pages to the way home.
No. Whether you need a visa or an authorisation depends on your passport, the purpose of your trip and the rules at the time, and only the official authority can say. We link the official visa-check tool and the visitor page for each destination, and we say clearly what we cannot tell you.
No. StudentFlow is a planner. Bookings are made with our partners, who set their own terms, and we are not a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer or tax adviser. If you want help with a visa application, choose an adviser who is registered with the official regulator, and check that registration yourself.
Yes. Each country sets its own entry rules, and areas such as Schengen have shared official pages, so check every stop. Our guide lists the official pages to read and the questions to ask before you book.
Any country. The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany have curated pages with the official entry pages by trip type, a five-phase plan, costs to plan for and the services travellers usually need. Every other country gets a general checklist: your passport, the destination’s own official page (linked when we have checked one), cover, money, health and the way home. We link official pages but do not tell you whether you need a visa: check the official page.
We do not decide that for you. Some official checklists ask about cover, and cover can matter for medical care, cancellations and delays. Our guide explains the basics and the exclusions to read before you buy.
Planning is free. Optional services sit beside the step they belong to, and you see the price before you pay. If you choose one, the provider may pay us a commission, and it does not change the price you see.
The student planner follows a journey from admission to arrival. The traveller planner is shorter: official entry pages, documents, bookings, time away and the way home, counted back from your travel date.
Entry rules are linked from each country’s official pages, and those pages have the final word. StudentFlow gives general information only: we don’t judge whether you will need or get a visa, and this is not legal or immigration advice. For advice on your case, speak to a licensed professional. View this page as plain markdown.
