Visas & entry requirements

Cross borders with the paperwork already in order.

Skaoot checks every trip against your passports: visas, ESTA-style travel authorizations, arrival cards, Schengen days. You hear about a problem while there’s still time to fix it, not at the desk.

The immigration math lives in your head. That’s the problem.

Does this passport need a visa there? Is the ESTA still valid, and where’s the confirmation? Thailand wants an arrival card filed before landing. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a running count of Schengen days you’re pretty sure is right.

Every border adds a rule, every rule lives in a different email, and the cost of getting one wrong ranges from an awkward hour at a desk to being put on a plane home. No flight tracker can help with any of this.

Skaoot can, because you’ve handed it both halves: the trips you forward and the documents you add to your profile. Nothing scanned, nothing discovered. Just a good memory doing the math.

Every trip, checked against every passport you hold.

The moment a flight, train, or stay lands on your timeline, Skaoot looks at the borders involved and what your documents say.

Passport validity

expiring before arrival, or during the stay, flagged trip by trip

Visa requirements

whether your passport needs a visa, an eVisa, or a waiver registration for the destination, and how long you’re allowed to stay

Travel authorizations

ESTA for the US, eTA for Canada, NZeTA, Australian ETA, UK ETA, K-ETA, matched to your passports and your trips

Arrival cards

Thailand’s TDAC, Singapore’s SGAC, Malaysia’s MDAC and the rest, tied to the right stay with the QR code ready at the desk

Schengen 90/180

your rolling day count, on the timeline where the crossing happens

Onward flights

when a destination expects proof of onward travel, Skaoot warns you ahead and keeps your onward flight one tap away at the border

Forward the approval email. The paperwork files itself.

Apply for an ESTA and forward the confirmation: Skaoot captures the reference, the status, and the validity dates, and later matches the approval email to the application on its own. The proof stays attached, one tap away when an officer asks.

Where a program publishes processing times, Skaoot shows you a timeline of your application, in working days or calendar days, whichever the program actually means. And anything Skaoot can’t read from email, you can add by hand, PDF attached.

A warning you see three months out is a plan. One you see at the desk is a crisis.

On the timeline: clear banners on the trips affected, with links to the official application sites, never a third-party middleman
On your phone: reminders at 90, 30, and 7 days before you land somewhere with an unresolved requirement
On your day count: a running “days used, days left” on Schengen crossings, with the date you need to be out by, and a red flag if a plan would tip you over
On onward flights: an early heads-up when a destination expects proof of onward travel, a pointer to your onward flight right where you cross the border, and a “book onward flight” shortcut if you still need one; temporary bookings from onward-ticket services never count against your bookings

None of this counts against your booking limit. Entry requirements are part of keeping you safe on the road, not a booking type to meter.

Skaoot keeps you ahead of the paperwork. It doesn’t replace it.

Entry rules change, and edge cases are the specialty of border control. Skaoot’s checks are guidance to keep you from being surprised, not legal advice, and the Apply links always point at official government sources. When something looks unusual for your situation, verify with the embassy or the official site. Skaoot will have made sure you’re asking that question weeks early, not at the desk.

Common questions

Which travel authorizations does Skaoot track?

ESTA for the United States, Canada’s eTA, New Zealand’s NZeTA, the Australian ETA, the UK ETA, and South Korea’s K-ETA, plus arrival cards such as Thailand’s TDAC, Singapore’s SGAC, Malaysia’s MDAC, and more. Forward an application or approval email and Skaoot captures the reference, status, and validity dates, and matches it to the right trip.

How does Skaoot know if I need a visa?

It checks every trip against the passports on your profile: whether the destination needs a visa, an eVisa, a travel authorization, or a visa-waiver registration for your nationality, plus maximum-stay limits and your passport’s validity across the dates. Warnings appear while there’s still time to apply, with reminders at 90, 30, and 7 days before landing.

Does Skaoot count my Schengen days?

Yes. Skaoot tracks the rolling 90-in-180-day window and shows your day count on the timeline where each Schengen crossing happens, with days used, days remaining, and the date you’d need to leave by. Travelers with EU, EEA, or Swiss passports don’t see the counter, because the rule doesn’t apply to them.

Is this legal advice?

No. Entry rules change, and edge cases are the specialty of border control. Skaoot’s checks are guidance to keep you from being surprised, and its Apply links always point at official government sources, never a third-party middleman. For unusual situations, verify with the embassy: Skaoot’s job is making sure you ask that question weeks early, not at the desk.
