Visa Requirements for United States Citizens
An American passport opens most of the world visa-free, from Europe to Japan and beyond. For the destinations that still need an online eVisa or eTA - the new UK ETA, India and Brazil among them - we prepare it and email back the approval.

About United States Passport
The US passport ranks around Top 10 on the Henley Passport Index, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 179 destinations - including the Schengen area, Japan, Singapore and most of the world. A modest and slowly growing group of countries now asks for an online eVisa or eTA before you go.
For the destinations that do still ask for paperwork, most issue it online. Where a destination offers an eVisa, eTA or travel authorisation to American citizens, we prepare and submit it for you. Wherever you travel, keep your passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

A strong passport, with a few new rules
Read the travel policy details for United States
American citizens travel visa-free across the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180, alongside most of Asia, Latin America and Africa - and Canada and Mexico need nothing beyond your passport. A few rules have changed recently, though: the UK now needs an ETA, and Brazil reinstated a visa for US citizens in 2025.
Looking ahead, Europe’s ETIAS authorisation will eventually apply to Americans visiting the Schengen area - a quick online permit, not a visa, expected to launch around the end of 2026. We focus on the destinations that accept an online eVisa or travel authorisation, so you only face a consulate when there is genuinely no online route.
