Only your route's documents. Dates read for you.
Pick a destination and visa type to get that route's exact document list, then drop the files in. We read each expiry date — from the PDF text, the passport machine readable zone, or by OCR on a scan — and flag anything that will be too close to the edge on the day you land.

The six-month passport rule
Most destinations require your passport to stay valid for at least six months after you arrive, and some require it to cover the entire permitted stay. Renewing mid-application is painful: your visa is issued against a passport number, so a renewal after approval can mean carrying both books or transferring the visa. Check the date before you file, not after.
Supporting documents have quieter clocks. Police certificates and medicals are typically treated as valid for six months from issue, and language tests for two years from the test date — expiry is measured from issue, not from the printed validity on the certificate. When you upload a passport page we also recompute the ICAO check digits in the machine readable zone, which is how a mistyped or altered expiry date is caught.
