Many countries require that you obtain a visa to enter. The need for a visa and related entry requirements may vary greatly, based on your nationality, destination and reason for visiting. Most countries issue visas through their embassies or consulates based in the U.S. There are different types of visas depending on the purpose of travel (e.g. for tourism, business, transit, or study etc.) Each country has different entry requirements, associated fees, application forms and permitted length of stay. Travelers may use the table below to find out more information about visa requirements and related cost. Please note travelers will also need to be in possession of a passport—remaining valid for at least six months following entry that contains sufficient unused pages for additional stamps.

Please note:

• It is the traveler's responsibility to determine their need for and to acquire all required visas.
• If the traveler's itinerary includes a transit stop (e.g. connecting flight) in a country that is not their final destination, a transit visa may be required regardless if the traveler plans to exit the airport or not
