Common questions
Travelling on a United States passport, answered from the same rules listed above.
121, out of the 210 countries covered here. That counts destinations admitting a United States passport with nothing applied for in advance. It does not count the 33 that issue a visa at the border or the 26 with an e-visa, which are listed separately below.
Albania, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia and Aruba and 113 more, grouped in the list above by what each one asks for. Every country links to the exact rule, because the stay a visa-free entry allows ranges widely between them.
33 of the 210 listed, including Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Comoros, Djibouti and Egypt. A visa on arrival is issued at the border, and the fee and documents it requires are checked at the counter rather than corrected there.
26 of the 210 listed, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Benin, Bhutan, Brazil, Cote d'Ivoire and Cuba. An e-visa is applied for and approved online before you travel, with no embassy appointment.
Yes, for Australia, Israel, Kenya, Mozambique, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Seychelles. A travel authorisation is not a visa — it is an online pre-screening of travellers who already need no visa — but it must be approved before you board, and an airline will refuse check-in without it.
No. All 29 Schengen countries in this list admit a United States passport without a visa. For travellers admitted as visitors the short-stay allowance is counted across the whole area rather than per country, so days spent in one member count against the rest.

The same question on a different nationality. Rules differ sharply between passports, so check the one you will actually travel on.
