HI All

 

So my hubs has his 2 year Conditional Resident Card and we would like to travel (finally woohoo) to another country say Aruba, Bahamas, Cayman Islands...for a long weekend in the sun to escape the dreary cold winter here in NY but I have tried to search for his need for a visa for certain countries and they all ask If he is a Perm Resident he doesn't need a visa for 30 days to many of them so ....the question is - is a conditional resident the same as a perm resident in this aspect ? Thoughts?

 

I don't mind having to get it I just don't want to waste time at all these consulates fro an answer if I don't need to. :)

Perfect so I am interpreting it to mean he does have it and if it asks yes or no I'm checking yes he IS a perm resident. Thanks !

But check which countries he can travel with the resident card vs visa. We can go to Canada and Mexico with the green card, but we need to get a visa for other countries like UK.

I know that some islands in the caribbean accept the green card only, others need the passport as well (passport and green card), and return ticket.

 

Good luck!
