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, 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.
