Kinds of entry
Visa-free entry needs only the passport. A visa on arrival is issued at the border, sometimes for a fee.
A travel authorization, such as the US ESTA or the UK ETA, is approved online before the flight. It is not a visa. An eVisa is a visa applied for online before travel. Any other visa is applied for at an embassy or consulate.

Entry for Japanese passports follows Wikipedia, Visa requirements for Japanese citizens (IATA Timatic), checked October 7, 2026. Lengths of stay come from each country's own rules. Every source is listed on the sources page.
The same rules run inside the Estero app. Entry is decided by the border officer. Corrections go to support@estero.app.
