Visas and entry rules

Entry rules and, where the supplier sells one, a visa application. The routed ids are anc.entry.rules for the check and anc.visa.apply to file.

A requirements result is not a visa. Eligibility is not an approval. This is not legal or immigration advice. Rules change; the supplier response is the record for that call. Routed: anc.entry.rules for the check. anc.visa.apply to file. The price is quoted on the call. This page does not publish a rate card.

In your agent's chat

set up Ancilair — https://ancilair.com/llms.txt

2. Ask for the job

The prompt

Using Ancilair, check entry rules for the nationality, origin, destination, and dates I give you. Read https://ancilair.com/llms.txt. Call anc.entry.rules on https://api.ancilair.com. A requirements result is not a visa. Do not call anc.visa.apply until I say yes to a specific product. This is not legal or immigration advice.

Why this prompt works

One token. Supplier credentials stay on the server.
The price is the quote on the call, at the supplier's rate, with 0% markup.
A contract the team already holds is never metered, and it wins over Ancilair's account.
A quote, a search, a plan list, or a requirements check is not a booking. The follow-up runs only after an explicit yes, with an Idempotency-Key.
Timatic and CIBT VisaCheck do not file a visa, so they are not on anc.visa.apply. Sherpa visa products and SimpleVisa applications are the filing tools.

A named supplier is a different tool id, not a new integration.

Before they fly
Entry rules, a visa product only if one is required, then an eSIM. Filing waits for a yes.
