Where can I go visa-free with my passport?

How to read the result

The list is grouped by how much work entry actually takes, not alphabetically. The first three groups are the ones worth planning a trip around: visa-free entry, a visa issued at the border on arrival, and an electronic travel authorisation you fill in online in a few minutes. The summary line adds those three together, because in practice they all mean you can book a flight without waiting for a consulate.

An e-visa sits one step further away: it is still online and usually fast, but it is a real application with a fee and a processing time, so it belongs in a separate group. The last two groups are countries where you need a visa arranged in advance, and the handful of destinations that do not admit holders of the selected passport at all.

Where the source specifies a length of stay, it is shown next to the country, for example "90 days". That number is the maximum stay allowed per entry under the visa-free rule, not the validity of your passport and not a total for the year.

What each category means in practice

Visa-free means you arrive with your passport and are admitted for a set period, provided the border officer is satisfied with the usual basics: a passport valid long enough, an onward or return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip. No paperwork before departure.

Visa on arrival means the visa exists, but it is issued at the airport or land border, usually for a fee, sometimes only at specific entry points. It is convenient but not automatic: queues can be long, fees are often cash-only in a specific currency, and a small number of countries suspend the scheme at short notice.

An electronic travel authorisation (ESTA for the United States, eTA for Canada, ETIAS for the Schengen area from its launch, K-ETA for South Korea and so on) is a pre-screening step rather than a visa. You apply online, the fee is small, and approval is usually quick, but it must be approved before you board, so it is not something to leave for the airport.

An e-visa is a genuine visa application, submitted online instead of at a consulate. Expect a fee, a document upload, and a processing window from a day to a couple of weeks. Plan it in advance, especially around national holidays in the issuing country.

Where the data comes from

The entry rules come from the passport-index dataset, refreshed weekly into our database, and cover 199 passports against 198 destinations each. The same dataset powers the visa layer inside the Aviozo app, so the answer here and the answer in the app never disagree.

This is reference information, not legal advice, and it is the starting point of your planning rather than the end of it. Visa rules change with little notice, bilateral agreements get suspended, and rules can differ for a specific purpose of travel. Before you buy a ticket, confirm the requirement on the official government source for the destination, which we link on each country page.

Visa-free does not mean no requirements

Even where no visa is needed, entry conditions still apply, and they are the most common reason people are turned away. The most frequent ones: a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, one or two blank pages, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and sometimes evidence of funds or travel insurance.

Time limits also add up in ways that surprise people. In the Schengen area, the familiar 90 days is 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the whole area, not per country and not per entry. Several other regions use similar rolling windows, so if you travel often to the same place, count the days you have already spent there before assuming the next trip fits.

More than one passport, or a visa you already hold

If you hold two or more citizenships, your real freedom of movement is the best of them for each destination, and it is worth checking both: the answer changes destination by destination rather than overall. In the Aviozo app you can add every passport you hold, and the map takes the best rule for each country automatically.

A visa you already have works the same way. A valid Schengen, US or UK visa opens a number of other countries that admit its holders, which is why the app lets you record visas you hold and factors them into where you can go. You can also set an expiry date and get a reminder before it runs out.

Turning the list into an actual trip

A list of open countries is only half the answer, because the other half is what a ticket costs. Aviozo crosses the two: it takes the countries open to your passport, matches them against cheap fares from your home airport, and shows what is both easy to enter and cheap to reach this month.

Everything on this page works without an account. An account adds the parts that need to be stored or shared: your map of visited countries, a public link to it, price alerts, and reminders before a visa you hold expires.
