Compare transferPrices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

Frequently asked questions
What is beforeyoufly.com.au?
Before You Fly is an Australian travel essentials comparison site. Tell us where you're going and we show you what Australian passport holders actually need - visas and entry rules, eSIMs, travel insurance, travel money, transfers and driving permits - then compare the options in AUD.
Is it free to use?
Yes. The site is free and always will be. We earn a commission when you buy through some of our links, which never changes the price you pay or the order we rank results in.
Why is it Australian-specific?
Entry rules depend on the passport you hold. Australians need an ETA for the UK, an ESTA for the US and a paid visa on arrival for Indonesia, while other nationalities face completely different rules. Australia also only issues the 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit, which is invalid in some countries. Generic travel sites miss all of this.
Do I need an account?
No, but a free account saves your trip checklist across devices, keeps your saved comparisons, and lets us email you if entry requirements change for a destination you are watching.
