Do I need A Visa for travel to a certain country?

Do I Need A Visa

For Travel to a Certain Country?

Many times I am asked if a customer or client needs a travel visa when traveling to certain country destination. I have provided a list of more than 200 countries and whether or not U.S. Citizens are required to obtain a travel visa in order to enter a certain country. Note: Those Country Names shown in Green Do not require a visa for pleasure travel purposes.

Prices for travel visas can vary widely from less than $50, up to hundreds of dollars. They are usually dependant on the destination being traveled to, purpose of visit (whether business or pleasure), how soon to departure you are applying for your visa, and relations between the host country and the U.S. Government. Note: U.S. Citizens traveling abroad are strongly encouraged to check on the latest travel information, including warnings and watch lists which can be found on the U.S. State Department website at http://travel.state.gov/travel/

I hope you find this information helpful.

Note: It may be possible to obtain a required visa upon arrival at some of these destinations. Significant restrictions often apply and requirements for entry vary. Check with the local consulate for details. Be sure to inquire with your airline if boarding is allowed without a visa. Immigration officials in the destination country can refuse entry to anyone for any reason. To minimize risk of being refused entry and to avoid excessive waiting for an on arrival visa to be issued, the US Department of State strongly recommends that travelers obtain all visas prior to departure whenever possible.
