Here is a list
of countries that US passport holders can travel to, either
without a visa, where a visa on arrival will be issued for
a fee, (possibly photos required) or where free entry is given
for a fixed period. This list is intended only as a guide. If you are in
doubt, visit the indicated website or contact an embassy. For countries
not listed, contact the nearest embassy or consulate to find out
requirements or restrictions.
If you intend
visiting several countries, this may take considerable time. As an
alternative there are independent services such as
VisaHQ
who will answer questions and make the necessary visa applications on
your behalf, for a reasonable fee. This can save you a lot of time and
trouble. |
