How it works

Leave one country, enter the next, step by step.

Pick a country, then a crossing. TripEase shows both sides of the border and where to read the rules.

  • Cross the border. Choose the direction. Leave one country, enter the other, and switch direction in one tap.
  • Opening hours. Shown for the side that publishes them, with the official source. If no official hours are published, TripEase says so.
  • Official links. Entry rules, customs and the crossing page for each side, plus the EU Entry/Exit System where it applies.
  • After the crossing. The normal entry rules of the country you enter apply, and TripEase opens that country's page.

Opening hours come from the official sources named on each crossing. Where a side publishes none, the app says so.

Check with officials first

Borders change. TripEase tells you when to double-check.

Caution

Hours can change

Snow, holidays and staffing can change opening hours. Crossings where this matters carry a "Check with officials first" note.

Status

Official notices, dated

When an official source publishes a status such as open, closed or restricted, TripEase shows it with the date of the notice, not as live information.

Electronic gates

Where they exist

Some crossings have electronic gates for eligible travellers. Where an official page says so, TripEase notes it and links to it.

TripEase is general information, not legal advice, and it never decides whether you can cross. The border officer does. Always confirm on the official site before you travel.

Official sources

Links go to government pages. Always.

Each crossing links to the official entry, customs or border-crossing page of the countries it connects. Here are two examples of the kind of page you will open.

Yellow buttons mean one thing: an official government link.

Price

Free, in the main app.

Land & Sea is free and part of the main TripEase app, along with entry rules, official visa and form links and advisories for every country.

Questions

Land & Sea, answered

Do I still need a visa if I cross by land?

The country you are entering sets its own entry rules, and they can differ from the rules for arriving by air. After the crossing, that country's normal entry rules apply. TripEase links to that country's official entry page so you can check before you travel.

Are land borders open all day?

Not always. Hours and status can change with the season, holidays, staffing and local events. Where an official source publishes opening hours, TripEase shows them with the source; where none is published, it says so. Always confirm with the official crossing page before you set off.

Does Land & Sea include ferries and trains?

Yes. Land & Sea lists road, rail, ferry and foot crossings. 72 of them are ranked by official traffic figures so the busiest crossings come first.

Is Land & Sea free?

Yes. Land & Sea is free and part of the main TripEase app. Entry rules and official links for every country are free too.

Does TripEase decide whether I can cross?

No. Border officers make that decision. TripEase helps you know what to check and where the official sources are, so you can plan with confidence.

Cruises and trip tracking are coming as optional, opt-in extras as we build them.
