COUNTRIES THAT USA CITIZENS CAN ENTER WITHOUT A VISA
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, visa applications can take considerable time. As an
alternative there are independent services that
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.
Also if you don't yet have a US passport, then application can take several weeks unless you apply through a reliable company like PassportVisasExpress.com for your passport as well as any visas you require.
