Can you explore
your layover city?

Visa rules are tied to your passport, not where you live. An Indian passport holder in Canada still needs a transit visa for some countries that a Canadian passport holder can enter freely — and vice versa. Layovr accounts for this precisely.

Airside means you stay within the secure terminal — no passport control, but limited to the airport. Landside means you exit the airport, pass immigration, and can explore the city. Layovr tells you which applies to your situation and what documents you need.

Layovr uses AI trained on current visa and transit data and is designed for general guidance. Visa rules change — always verify with the official embassy or IATA before travel, especially for complex itineraries. Never board based solely on any third-party tool.

As a rule of thumb: allow 45–60 minutes to exit immigration, 30–90 minutes transport each way, and 2 hours back at the airport before your gate. That means you need at least 5–6 hours to make any city exploration worthwhile. Layovr builds this buffer into every itinerary.

Yes, completely free. No ads, no sign-up, no hidden costs. Layovr is a passion project built to genuinely help travellers make the most of their time between flights.

Layovr uses Claude AI (Anthropic) trained on publicly available travel and immigration data, including IATA Travel Centre guidelines, official government immigration portals, and embassy documentation. Passport strength ordering follows the Henley Passport Index 2024. All results are for general guidance — always verify with the official embassy or consulate of the transit country before travel.

Passports are listed from strongest to weakest based on the Henley Passport Index 2024 — a global ranking of passports by the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. This ordering is useful because stronger passports typically face fewer layover restrictions, so the most relevant options for most users appear first.
