Exactly...it depends on the destination country you are travelling to, some country require a visa to get in no matter what passport you hold.

Not true.

Many countries don't require visas for short tourist visits, but do require visas for longer term travel, working abroad, studying in their schools, etc.

A few countries have a "reciprocity" principle. For example, Brazil makes US Citizens get a tourist visa, and they charge US Citizens a nonrefundable $130.00 fee for the privilege of applying for the visa. That's because the US Government makes Brazilians get a tourist visa and charges them similarly.

A special case is Cuba. The Cuban authorities don't mind if US Citizens visit, but US authorities DO mind if a US citizen or LPR visits Cuba without permission. Travellers to Cuba open themselves up to fines and prosecution when returning to the US.

Nanusia & Lukaszek's list is incomplete, BTW. I happen to know that Venezuela doesn't require a visa for short visits for tourist purposes, but it's not on the list.

US Citizens can travel as short-term tourists to an awful lot of countries without getting a visa, but not quite all of them.

Really? That's weird. Cause I copied the info directly from travel.gov website. So you must have information they don't.

Your list is not complete. i.e.: US citizens do not require a visa for France for stays up to 3 months. France is not on your list.

I'd recommend checking visa requirments for each country you plan on visiting.

how about Nederlands and germany?There is no visa required for USC.

[kim&james 0]

There are quite a few countries missing from that list, I notice that alot of them are visa waiver countries so check that out but basically if you plan to travel overseas check if you need a visa beforehand.

Many African countries require a visa regardless. Some I'm pretty sure of are Lybia, Algeria, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo etc. So yes every nation is going to be different and some will require visa's while others won't. You will just have to check on that particular country you want to visit to see what their individual rules will be...
