As the largest developed country, the United States receives many "passers-by" from other countries every year. As we all know, it is difficult to obtain visas in developed countries, and the United States, as the boss of developed countries, is naturally even more difficult. Are you curious about whether there are any countries (or regions) that do not need to apply for a visa to go to the United States, and you can take a trip with your passport? Who are these countries today?
U.S. Visa Appearance
A total of 41 countries and regions around the world can travel to the United States without a visa, and the breakdown by region is as follows:
South America: Chile. In South America, only Chile can travel to the United States visa-free because of its social stability, high per capita income and high level of education.
North America: Canada. Regardless of the racial composition and social development, the ZZ system and cultural traditions of Canada are very similar to those of the United States, and some people call Canada the 51st state of the United States.
Africa: None. The reason seems to go without saying.
Europe: This is the main country for the United States to be visa-free. Most European countries can travel to the United States without a visa. The countries that are not exempt from visas are mainly former Eastern European countries (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, etc.).
Oceania: Two major countries – Australia and New Zealand – can travel to the U.S. without a visa.
Asia: We are more concerned about the region, a total of 6 countries (regions) in Asia can travel to the United States without a visa: Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Brunei, Israel and Taiwan (Taiwan Province of China).
Among the dozens of countries above that are visa-free to travel to the United States, the first country to enjoy visa-free access is the United Kingdom (obtained in 1988) and the last is Israel (obtained in October 2023).
The above is the content of the visa-free country treatment granted by the United States. Here are some of the contents of China's visa-free countries, and China signed a mutual exemption agreement with Singapore this year (2024). It is also the first truly developed country to offer visa-free access to our nationals (Singapore's GDP per capita exceeds that of many EU countries). The new country's move is precisely to see China's huge business, tourism, consumption and investment potential, and the early implementation of mutual exemption will boost the country's economy faster - the expectation behind Singapore's visa exemption is a confirmation of the fact that China is a strong state. With the continuous development of national strength, there will be more and more developed countries and China will be exempt from each other, and a trip is not far away.
Addendum: In addition, there are some rumors that Singapore is visa-free for the whole world, so there is nothing special about visa-free access to China. In fact, this is a rumor that can be falsified with a little verification. According to the official information from the Immigration and Checkpoints Department of Singapore (ICA), Singapore is not visa-free for the following countries. There are so many comments on the Internet that you need to break it down.
Some new countries are not visa-free countries.
That's it for this issue.
