Before you book
- Visa free is not the same as guaranteed entry. The border officer still decides, and can ask for a return ticket, accommodation and money for the trip.
- Many countries also set a passport validity rule. See passport validity by country.
- Changing planes can need a visa even when the destination does not. See transit visa rules.
- Anyone selling a visa for a visa-free country is selling you nothing.
