Sixteen browser tabs and one missed rule.
This is how visa checks happen today: a spreadsheet, a dozen government sites that each say something slightly different, and a quiet hope that nobody booked a connection through a country you forgot to check.
- Re-type every nationality from passport scans into a spreadsheet.
- Search each passport against each country — rules buried, often out of date.
- Forget the country nobody overnights in but everyone drives through.
- Miss a passport-validity rule until someone is at check-in.
- No record of who checked what, or when the rule last changed.
From traveler details and itinerary to a resolved five-stage check.
One check, five stages — from the passports on the form to a result saved on the trip.
Read passports from the form
Traveller nationalities come straight from the traveler form. No spreadsheets, no re-keying, no transcription slips.
Map out the itinerary
Tourical lists every overnight and every drive-through country on the trip — including the ones nobody thinks about.
Check every pairing
For every passport and country, Tourical looks up the current entry rule and notes where it found it.
Return a clear row
Each pairing comes back as one clear, plain row — dissected field by field just below.
Save it on the trip
Results are saved to the trip so operators and travellers see the same answer. Re-checks are deliberate — never silent.
Not a report. A to-do list with deadlines.
The grid tells you what is true. The to-do list tells you what to do about it — sorted by urgency, with the date each one has to be done by.
Passport-expiry watch
A valid visa is worthless on an expired passport. Tourical flags any passport that falls under six months — or under a destination's own rule — at travel time.

A confident first pass — not the final word.
Tourical's visa check is built to catch the thing you would have missed and to tell you where to look next. It is fast, it is sourced, and it is consistent. It is not legal advice, and entry rules can change between the check and the trip.
Tourical narrows the Schengen countries and four passports down to the two rows that actually need work. You confirm those with the consulate before any document is issued. The tool does the looking-up; the operator owns the decision.
Does this replace checking with the consulate?
No, and it is not meant to. It is a confident first pass that catches missed pairings and points you at the right authority. You confirm the flagged rows with the consulate before issuing anything.
How current is the answer?
Each pairing is checked against current sources at the time of the check. Because rules change, re-checks are deliberate, and Tourical re-checks the trip as departure approaches.
What happens when the rule is genuinely unclear?
You get a check-with-the-consulate or unknown status with low confidence — never a confident guess. That row goes to the top of the list so a human resolves it.
Never tell a client at the gate “we missed your visa” again.
