Edition notes

What changed in November

Each monthly link check is an edition. These are the changes worth knowing about. See all editions or follow them in the RSS feed.

  1. Added An official eVisa and ETA websites guide: the government site and operator, and the fee where an official page gives one, for 56 eVisa, travel authorisation and arrival-card schemes in 44 countries, with each government's warning about lookalike sites where it publishes one.
  2. Removed The country-by-country travel authorisation and arrival card links from Visas & entry (UK ETA, ESTA, K-ETA and the rest); they moved to the new guide, with the quoted lookalike warnings. EES and ETIAS stay.
  3. Added A currency by country table, grouped by continent with currency symbols, and a list of the countries that use the euro; each country's quick facts link to it.
  4. Added Mains voltage and frequency, such as 230 V, 50 Hz, next to the plug types in each country's quick facts and in the plug types table.
  5. Added A one-sentence summary at the top of each country's quick facts, with its plug types, driving side, currency and emergency numbers.
  6. Added A few in-season picks from different continents at the top of each month guide, and a link to next month's guide on the homepage.
  7. Added Official registers for looking up a travel company in the UK, four US states, three Canadian provinces, Australia and the EU, in the guide to checking whether a travel website is legit.
  8. Added Country codes, such as GB, GBR, JP or CZE, in the filter on the countries page.
  9. Added National government sources for the emergency numbers on Japan's, Spain's, Mexico's, Peru's, Canada's, the United States', Brazil's, Thailand's and Australia's pages, next to UK government advice.
  10. Added Practical rules cited to the body that sets them on France's, Italy's, Spain's, Mexico's, Peru's, Canada's, the United States', Brazil's, Thailand's and Australia's pages, such as Crit'Air stickers, Machu Picchu tickets, Thailand's vape ban and Uluṟu's park pass.
  11. Added Official sites next to the Wikivoyage guides for most top destinations on the same pages, but only for Bangkok on Thailand's and Machu Picchu on Peru's; Iguaçu Falls links its park concessionaire's visitor site.
  12. Replaced Uncited tips on the same pages with ones cited to the body that sets each rule, or to GOV.UK for safety and health warnings; Italy's Trevi Fountain line now cites the city's own page.
  13. Dropped Unsourced claims from the same pages, such as cheap early TGV fares, Spanish meal times, Thailand's "temple is closed" scam and Australia's Sydney–Perth road distance.
  14. Added Austria's 2027 vignette on the motorway vignettes page: digital only, €108.90 from 1 January 2027 (€106.80 if bought by 31 December 2026), valid from 1 December 2026; also Switzerland's 2027 validity dates and Hungary's annual validity date. Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania had no 2027 prices from their operators, so their prices are labelled as 2026 or current ones.
  15. Added A dated government travel advice box on Cuba's, Israel's and Oman's pages, shown when the UK or Canada advises against non-essential travel to the whole country (or the US or Germany against all travel). Cuba's box now names Canada's advice too.
  16. Corrected Venice's access fee: the 2026 trial has ended, and the page now points to the city's 2027 dates.
  17. Corrected Mexico's cyclone season: the Pacific season starts on 15 May, not June, according to the Navy's port notices.
  18. Corrected Thailand's visa exemption: not every visa-exempt visitor gets 30 days; the page now follows the Foreign Ministry's list.
  19. Corrected The Cook Islands' visitor permit: since October 2026, Australian passport holders get 90 days on arrival, as New Zealanders do, not 31. The page now cites the immigration ministry's current FAQ in place of an old page that no longer exists.
  20. Replaced Uruguay's Ministry of Tourism and Morocco's ONCF train links: their English addresses showed an error page to new visitors, so both now link the site's home page, which offers English.
  21. Removed A Singapore Department of Statistics page that no longer exists from February's guide; the Meteorological Service Singapore page next to it still supports the note.
