Latest travel rules changes added to TravelDoc

Take a look at this highlight reel of updated travel rules we added to TravelDoc this month

Countries around the world frequently change their travel visa rules, which can disrupt travellers and the organisations helping to facilitate their journeys. Fortunately, TravelDoc is here to solve that problem.

TravelDoc By ICTS Europe Systems

TravelDoc is an automated document check system that enables accurate checking and understanding of travel rules for every single destination. We have built a database of up-to-date travel ruling and information, fuelled by a dedicated team of immigration and documentation experts checking official sources and updating new rules every day.

Here are May's highlights of the latest immigration rule changes now live within the TravelDoc database and helping enable international travel:

  1. Israel has introduced an electronic travel authorisation. It is in its pilot phase for German and US nationals. https://israel-entry.piba.gov.il

  3. Passengers are not permitted to enter Saudi Arabia when departing Zimbabwe and holding Hajj or Umrah visas, due to the cholera epidemic.

  4. Bahamas, Barbados and Grenada nationals are now eligible for a Saudi e-visa.
