Which countries is visa free?

As of November 2023, US passport holders can travel visa free to 148 countries and territories:
  • Albania.
  • American Samoa.
  • Andorra.
  • Angola.
  • Anguilla.
  • Antigua and Barbuda.
  • Argentina.
  • Armenia.




For 2026 travelers, "visa-free" status is highly dependent on your passport's strength. For Indian passport holders, 2026 marks a significant improvement in global mobility, with roughly 26 to 60 nations offering easy access. Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Mauritius now offer full visa-free entry for tourism, while others like the Maldives, Indonesia, and Seychelles provide a simple "Visa-on-Arrival." In Europe, Serbia, Albania, and Montenegro remain popular visa-free options for Indians. For U.S., UK, and EU citizens, the list is much larger, encompassing over 180 countries, including most of the Americas and Southeast Asia. However, the 2026 landscape has a new requirement: even "visa-free" travelers to Europe now must apply for the ETIAS (Electronic Travel Authorisation) before departure. Always check the official government portal of your destination, as "visa-free" does not always mean "paperwork-free" in the digital-first travel era of 2026.
