Visa free access for Romania

As a Romania passport holder, you are permitted to travel visa-free to 176 countries and territories. This data is correct as of March 2024.

In order to travel visa-free, you will need a valid passport, often with at least six months until expiry. Additionally, you may need travel insurance, as required by your destination country.

Within these countries, there is often a separate section in airports where you can submit your Visa on Arrival. You will receive your visa on arrival (VOA) after entering the country that issued the visa.

Acquiring an eVisa follows the same process as applying for a traditional visa. The main difference with an eVisa is that you don’t need to visit a visa application centre. You can submit your application online, including making any payments relating to the visa.

Once the relevant authorities approve your application, you will receive a confirmation email regarding your visa status, along with a document that you must print and bring with you when crossing the border.

You will need a valid visa to enter the 176 countries with a Romania passport.

Romanian passport among 20 most powerful in the world

The Romanian passport ranked 16th in the world, offering visa-free access to 174 travel destinations, according to the 2022 Henley Passport Index.

The passport tied those of Chile and Monaco and maintained its position obtained in last year’s ranking. The Romanian passport also retained the same number of destinations for visa-free travel as in 2021.

Japan occupied first place in the 2022 Passport Index. Its citizens can travel to 193 destinations without a visa. Passports issued by Singapore and South Korea tied for second, both allowing access to 192 destinations.

Germany and Spain tied for third with 190 destinations each, while the Finnish, Italian and Luxembourgish passports allow access to 189 destinations.

There are numerous ties in the ranking. The 5th and 6th spots are occupied by 8 European countries, with four on each spot. Five countries tied for 7th, and another five 8th.

Having a powerful passport does not automatically lead to traveling more. In fact, the report accompanying the ranking notes that those with the strongest passports are the most restricted and reluctant to enjoy the freedom of travel today due to the pandemic.

International passenger demand in the Asia-Pacific region is up, but still only at 17% of pre-Covid levels, despite the opening up of most countries. Concern over an impending recession and the question of China’s border reopening make a challenging climate for tourism and travel.

Travel fares much better in Europe and North America, where mobility levels have reached 60% of pre-pandemic levels, according to the British firm, cited by Profit.ro .

The UK (187) and US (186) dropped one spot in this year’s ranking, while Russia climbed two, reaching 50th, having, in theory, access to 119 destinations. In reality, Russians are facing severe travel limitations since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, the Law No 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector and Law No 271/2010 on the establishment, organization and functioning of the National Visa Information System and Romania's participation in the Visa Information System, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in its capacity of personal data controller, with its registered office at 31, Aleea Alexandru, 1st district, Bucharest, Romania, phone number: +40 21 431 11 00, +40 21 431 15 62, +40 21 319 21 08, +40 21 319 21 25, Fax: +40 21 319 68 62, must manage under secure conditions and only for the specified purpose, well determined by the specific regulatory framework in force, the personal data that you provide us, under the law, about yourself, a member of your family or another person. Within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs there is a designated personal data protection officer that can be contacted at [email protected] .

This information relates to the purpose of data collection for processing and examining applications for entry visas to Romania and issuing the requested visas. Data subjects processing personal data for the above-mentioned purpose, who choose to apply for an entry visa to Romania online, through the national electronic portal for facilitating visa applications, E-VIZA - www.eviza.mae.ro , must provide the data requested through the visa application forms*; refusal to provide the requested data will result in the inadmissibility of the visa application which will not be processed at the diplomatic missions/consular offices of Romania. The application for a visa through the E-VIZA portal can be completed by the person concerned only after agreeing to the terms and conditions related to the processing of personal data. Data of persons who do not complete an online visa application are automatically deleted 30 days after the date of the last intervention of the data subject on his/her own application file. The recorded information is intended for use by the controller and is communicated by data subjects, for retrieval from the eViza external electronic portal, only to diplomatic missions and consular posts of Romania. The information is retrieved from the eViza portal for subsequent processing in the National Visa Information System (NVIS).

According to the provisions of the GDPR, the data subject benefits from the right to be informed, the right to access the data, the right to rectify data, the right to erase data, the right to restrict processing and the right not to be subject to automatic processing. At the same time, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him/her**. In order to exercise these rights, you may address a written, dated and signed request to the Designated Personal Data Protection Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - [email protected] ***. You also have the right to file a complaint with the A.N.S.P.D.C.P( http://www.dataprotection.ro ) and the right to appeal to justice.

Your data, communicated through the E-VIZA electronic portal and processed within the NVIS by authorized users, will not be transferred abroad. Should any of your details be inaccurate, please inform us as soon as possible.

* The legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes mentioned above is given by the legislation in force which can be consulted [ here ]. The fields in the visa application forms marked with an asterisk - (*) do not need to be filled in by third country nationals who are family members of citizens of the European Union, the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation (spouse, child or dependent ascendant).

** If you do not consent to the processing of your personal data, it will be considered that your visa application becomes inadmissible. However, if you wish to have your personal data erased, but at the time of the erasure request you hold a valid visa obtained on the basis of those data, they cannot be erased, in accordance with Article 17 paragraph (3) letter (b) of the GDPR. If no decision has been taken on the visa application, it cannot be further processed and it should also be noted that the fee for processing the application cannot be refunded.

*** The requests for exercising the rights of data subjects in relation to the processing of visa applications, available online at www.mae.ro , shall be submitted by written, dated and signed request, addressed, in accordance with Article 38 paragraph (4) of the GDPR, to the Data Protection Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the following address: [email protected] , respectively at the MFA controller's office, 31, Aleea Alexandru, 1st district, Bucharest, zip code 011822.

2. Right to access the data:

The persons concerned by the processing of personal data have the right to obtain from the controller, by means of a written, signed and dated request, confirmation as to whether or not personal data relating to them are being processed and, if so, access to such data, in accordance with the European legal act.

3. The right to rectify data:

Any data subject has the right to obtain from the controller, in accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, without undue delay, the rectification (correction, completion, etc.) of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

It should be noted that rectification of data by the data subject, involving their modification, on request, when the visa granted is still valid, entails, where appropriate, the cancellation or revocation of the document.

According to the provisions of Article 17 of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed;

the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph (1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;

the personal data have been unlawfully processed;

the personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation incumbent on the controller under Union law or national law to which the controller is subject.

It should be noted that the deletion of data in the visa activity does not apply to the EAW for all situations foreseen in the GDPR, as not all of them (e.g. when the processing is based on consent or when the data have been collected for the provision of information services) are applicable or related to the EAW activity.

Where the data subject requests the erasure of data relating to him or her, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs controller finds that the data subject has valid visa applications (pending or approved applications for which the visa issued is pending), the data subject will be informed that the erasure cannot be carried out, pursuant to Article 17 paragraph (3).

Each request for erasure of data shall be examined individually.

5. The right to restrict processing:

According to the provisions of Article 18 of the GDPR, any data subject shall have the right to request the restriction of the processing of data relating to him or her where:

the data subject disputes the accuracy of the data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the data;

the processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use;

the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purpose of the processing, but the data subject requests them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

the data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21 paragraph (1) of the GDPR - the right to object, for the period of time during which it is verified whether the legitimate rights of the controller prevail over those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted, the individual's data may, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State.

6. The right to oppose:

According to the provisions of Article 21 of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to him or her pursuant to Article 6 paragraph (1) letter (e) or letter (f), including the creation of profiles on the basis of those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes personal data on the basis of the legal powers vested in it as a public authority and the exercise of the public authority vested in it. Therefore, the visa application of a data subject who objects to the processing of his/her data for this purpose becomes inadmissible, the application file is not taken over and the consular fee/service fee is not collected.

According to the provisions of Article 20 from the GDPR, the data subject benefits from the right to data portability and according to the provisions of Article 22 from the GDPR, the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making.

Within the framework of the visa activity, the data collected in relation to the examination and issuance of visas by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs operator by virtue of its capacity as central competent authority, shall not be transferred to other recipients, even at the request of the data subject, as the working procedures inherent to these areas are clearly regulated by the European and national legislation in force, and it is not possible to use ported data. At the same time, the examination and issuance of a visa does not rely at any time on automated individual decision-making processes.

Therefore, in the case of visa activity, the exercise of these two rights by data subjects in the processing of data for the issuance of visas is irrelevant.

In order to defend their rights under the GDPR, individuals whose personal data is subject to processing covered by the GDPR have the right to file a complaint with the controller through the Data Protection Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Data subjects may also file a complaint with the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing at:

Address: 28-30 G-ral. Gheorghe Magheru Blvd., 1st district, zip code 010336, Bucharest, Romania;

E-mail: [email protected];

Phone number: +40.318.059.211;

Fax: +40.318.059.602;

Website: http://www.dataprotection.ro .

In addition, according to the provisions of Articles 78 and 79 of the GDPR, every natural or legal person has the right to an effective judicial remedy against a supervisory authority and a controller or processor.

Entry requirements

This advice reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Romania set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact Romania’s Embassy in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Romania.

Passport validity requirements

Romania is now part of the Schengen area, you must follow the  Schengen area passport requirements  to travel there.

To enter Romania (and all Schengen countries) your passport must:

• have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive. Passports issued after 1 October 2018 are now valid for only 10 years, but for passports issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added if you renewed a passport early
• have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave

Check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the latest guidance on passport validity.

Contact the Romanian embassy in the UK if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

Passport stamping

At the Romanian border your passport may be stamped when you enter and exit Romania or another country in the Schengen area. Border guards will use passport stamps to check you have not overstayed the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area.

You can show tickets or boarding passes as evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area. Ask the border guards to add this date and location in your passport.

If you have a Withdrawal Agreement residency document for another country, your passport might still be stamped if you are a visitor to Romania.

You may also need to:

• show a return or onward ticket
• show you have enough money for your stay

Read about passport stamping if you live in Romania .

Visa requirements

Romania is now part of the Schengen area. Visits to Romania now count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area.

You can visit the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel:

• as a tourist
• to visit for family or friends
• to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events
• for short-term studies or training

On 31 March, Romania  joined Schengen for border control-free travel via air and sea. Border controls will continue to remain at all land and river borders, including those within the Schengen zone. You will need to show your passport at land and river borders, although your passport should not be stamped.

Visits to any other Schengen countries in the 180 days before you travel to Romania will count towards your 90 day visa-free limit.

If you’re travelling to Romania (and all other Schengen countries) without a visa, make sure your whole visit to the Schengen area is within the 90-day limit.

To stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons) you will need to meet the Romanian government’s entry requirements. Check with the  Romanian Embassy in the UK  what type of visa and/or work permit you may need.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the end date of the visa.

If you stay in Romania with a Romanian residence permit or long-stay visa, this time does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit for travel to the Schengen area.

Vaccination requirements

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the vaccinations and certificates you need in TravelHealthPro’s Romania guide .

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods that you can take into or out of Romania (in Romanian). You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Leaving Romania with children aged 17 and under

If you’re travelling with a child who holds Romanian citizenship, and you are not the child’s parent, or you are a parent but the other parent is not travelling with you, you may need to show notarised parental consent.

A list of the public notaries can be found on the website of the National Union of Public Notaries of Romania.

Nomad Passport Index Ranking

Total Score

Capital City

Romanian leu

The passport of Romania is currently ranked as 24T , with a total score of 104.00 . Romania passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Romania government's approach not just to travel, but also to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship, and personal freedom as just the number of countries Romania passport holder may visit won't tell the whole story and you will have to deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, comply with regulations, and avoid scrutiny when traveling.

Travel Destinations from Romania 50% in total score

For the Romania Travel score calculation, we relied on data from the IATA, Henley Index, and news sources to rank travel access. We calculate the Travel scores by summing up Visa-free, Visa On Arrival, and eTA countries. Based on that data, we assigned Romania a Travel score of 170 as there are 116 countries that Romania passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 48 countries that allow Romania passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 6 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Romania passport holders can enter a total of 170 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 170 destinations, there are 80 additional destinations which Romania passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.

Taxation in Romania 20% in total score

For the Romania Taxation score calculation, we relied on data from our network of tax vendors, news sources, and tax authorities themselves. We assigned the lowest score of 10 to countries that tax citizens no matter where they live, scores of 20 or 30 to countries that allow citizens to relocate to avoid tax, 40 to those that don’t tax foreign incomes of resident citizens, and 50 to countries with zero tax. Based on that data, we assigned Romania a Taxation score of 30 , meaning that Romania allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.

LET US CREATE YOUR HOLISTIC OFFSHORE PLAN

Having a second residence in another country is a great way to diversify away from your home country, pay less in taxes, and possibly obtain a second citizenship, but are you sure that Romania is the best option for you? Let our experienced team create and implement a bespoke, holistic strategy for you to legally reduce your tax rate offshore, protect your assets, invest overseas, obtain a second citizenship, and improve your peace of mind. We've helped 1,500+ HNWI entrepreneurs and investors and we can help you, too.

Perception in Romania 10% in total score

For the Romania Perception score calculation, we relied on the World Happiness Report, the Human Development Index, and subjective factors from our networks’ experiences to determine how each country’s citizens are received and recognized. We assigned the lowest score of 10 to those whose citizens are refused entry to a substantial number of countries and/or whose citizens encounter substantial hostility, scores of 20, 30, and 40 to countries whose citizens experience intermediate hostility, and 50 to countries ranked among the happiest in the world and whose citizens experience minimal hostility. Based on that data, we assigned Romania a Perception score of 40 , meaning that Romania citizens experience intermediate hostility.

Dual Citizenship in Romania 10% in total score

For the Romania Dual Citizenship score calculation, we relied on embassy data and our experiences to assess the ability to hold dual citizenship, ranging from a score of 10 for strictly forbidden to a score of 50 for freely allowed. We assigned the score of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens are strictly forbidden to hold other citizenships, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens are often allowed to hold other citizenships but with certain restrictions, and 50 to countries whose citizens are almost always allowed to hold other citizenships. Based on that data, we assigned Romania a Dual Citizenship score of 50 , meaning that Romania citizens are almost always allowed to hold other citizenships.

Freedom in Romania 10% in total score

For the Romania Freedom score calculation, we relied on data and news reports on mandatory military service, government surveillance, press freedom, and other factors to determine the personal freedom of citizens, travelers, and expats, with scores from 10 being the least free and 50 being the freest. We assigned the scores of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens have low freedom, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens have intermediate freedom, and 50 to countries whose citizens have total freedom. Based on that data, we assigned Romania a Freedom score of 40 , meaning that Romania citizens have intermediate freedom.

Here's Every Destination Americans Can Travel To Without A Visa In 2024

Post may contain affiliate links; we may receive compensation if you click links to those products. This has no impact on how offers are presented. Our site does not include all offers available. Content on page accurate as of posting date.

Americans are back to traveling in droves now that the travel landscape is back to normal, excluding, of course, the state of conflict in some countries and the unpredictable realm of geopolitics, which keeps changing unpredictably by the minute.

Lucky for the average U.S. passport holder looking to escape the daily humdrum, there are very few limits as to where they can go.

Most countries now welcome them with open arms and are easing visa rules further, but that does not apply to all .

In fact, Americans need visas or electronic travel authorizations (ETAs) to travel to a number of popular destinations, including Australia, where an ETA is required, and Egypt, where a visa must be purchased on arrival, and that's only two examples.

The days of travel restrictions may be in the past, but that does not mean international travel is always completely seamless.

So, if you are wondering where Americans can travel to without any pre-existing requirements simply by holding a valid passport, this list may prove useful to you :

Let's start with the most restrictive continent for travelers: though Africa is widely known among Americans for transformative journeys, a wild undisturbed nature, and unmatched ethnic diversity, it is perhaps the hardest region to travel .

A majority of African countries still require Americans to obtain visas or eVisas in advance, an arduous process that may involve accessing outdated websites that are not fully functional, traveling to the nearest Consulate, paying expensive fees (as high as $200), and stressful border crossings.

There are only 15 destinations U.S. citizens can access completely visa-free, and interestingly enough, the continent's leading attraction is not one of them: arriving in Egypt, Americans must purchase a physical single or multiple-entry visa at the airport, with prices starting from $25.

Home to Mount Kilimanjaro, a bucket list African landmark, and the UNESCO-listed Zanzibar island, Tanzania, too, requires Americans to pay a visa fee for entering, at an even higher rate of $50; even global safari capital Kenya has eVisa arrangements in place.

Fortunately, not all African countries make it harder and more bureaucratic for U.S. citizens to enter, with subtropical Morocco, an Arab country straddling both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts and the cultural hotspot that is South Africa allowing them to enter without visas.

The full list can be found below:

• Central African Republic
• Sao Tome and Principe
• South Africa

Traveling Africa may prove challenging for most Americans, unless they a bunch of pre-obtained visas in hand, and plenty of blank passport pages to use up, but if it's any consolation, exploring their own continent couldn't be easier.

There is only one country in the whole of the mainland Americas where they cannot enter unless holding a valid tourist visa, and that is Venezuela , which in recent years has not exactly had friendly relations with the United States or most of its Southern neighbors, for that matter.

As for every other destination in the New World, Americans may come and go as they please, seeing they are not bound by restrictive entry rules and visa requirements, be in the form of entry authorizations or Consulate-issued permits.

From sunny Mexico down to tropical Colombia, they are eligible for hassle-free entry provided they carry a U.S. passport, and in these two countries in particular, their permitted length of stay can be as long as six months , sure to make slow travelers and digital nomads happy.

With that being said, Brazil, the largest South American country is now mulling over introducing a tourist visa for Americans, that would in theory make it impossible for them to visit unless holding a pre-obtained authorization, though that is not yet being enforced .

For 2024, these are all the North and South American countries U.S. nationals can visit without visa restrictions:

• El Salvador

Asia is the perfect spot for Americans looking to immerse themselves in an entirely different culture and escape their mundane Western worries, but unfortunately for blue passport holders, unlike Africa, the list of visa-free countries in the continent of friendly smiles is not as limited.

The most obvious odd one out is China, which requires U.S. nationals to apply for a physical visa in order to enter, a bureaucratic process that typically involves a visit to a Consulate, where applicants must present documentation and be interviewed unless they are merely transiting through.

Fortunately, a majority of destinations across Asia are open to hosting Americans bureaucracy-free , and though there may be an entry form or an eVisa to be filled out here and there, these can be easily obtained online by paying a fee and with minimal hassle.

One such example is Vietnam, where U.S. travelers are not allowed to enter unless holding a valid eVisa.

On the brightside, the maximum length of stay for visa applicants traveling to the Southeast Asian gem in 2024 has been extended from 30 days to 3 months.

Exercising sovereignty over Bali, a popular wellness retreat and paradisaical island, Indonesia also requires Americans to purchase a visa, either online in advance or upon arrival at the airport, as does Cambodia and Laos; thus, they do not qualify for the list.

• Philippines
• South Korea

The Caribbean

Going abroad, there is truly nowhere most Americans would rather be than the tropical Caribbean, a turquoise-blue ocean littered with paradisaical islands, some of which are countries in their own right and others that are autonomous territories of larger states.

With the exception of Cuba , they are free to roam around the territory freely, usually by presenting a valid passport. In the communist state, however, they are officially discouraged from visiting by U.S. authorities, and those who do must purchase a ‘Tourist Card'.

Similarly to a visa, a Cuban Tourist Card can be obtained at a Cuban embassy or consular mission, or at the airport prior to departure, though the latter option is not advised as not all airlines and service providers are licensed to issue the document.

In some cases, the travel agency you book your Cuba trip with could be the one applying for the card.

As you might suspect, this requirement makes Fidel Castro's homeland the hardest country for U.S. tourists to enter in the Caribbean.

• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba
• British Virgin Islands
• Cayman Islands
• Dominican Republic
• French West Indies
• Puerto Rico*
• St. Kitts and Nevis
• St. Maarten
• St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Trinidad and Tobago
• Turks and Caicos Islands
• U.S. Virgin Islands*

Out of all the continents, Europe is easily where Americans will find it easier to travel around, with all but three countries granting them visa-free entry: in fact, a majority of Europen states is a member of the European Union, one of the United States' most trusted partners.

Whether they're off to Italy to chase Mediterranean sunsets and rugged drives as they eat gelato, or they're ticking off fairytale German castles off the list, U.S. passport holders do not have to worry about obtaining entry permits in advance ( at least for now ).

In the future, the EU will require them to apply for a travel authorization before flying, and that's still not a visa – it's an online form that needs to be filled coupled with a small, symbolic fee that actually exempts them from a regular visa – but as of this year, travel is still completely bureaucracy-free.

As for the exceptions, perhaps it's not a surprise that Russia and Belarus would bar entry to American travelers unless they've been pre-screened at a Consulate and have obtained a visa in advance, and it's not like there are many travelers going to these war-raging countries these days, anyway.

The third European – or marginally European – country that is not listed under the visa-free agreements is Azerbaijan , the southernmost of the Caucasus states, a region between Eastern Europe and Western Asia: in order to enter, Americans must apply for an eVisa valid for only 30 days .

• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• North Macedonia
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• Vatican City

Middle East

The Westernmost part of Asia, the Middle East is often treated as its own subcontinent, and similarly to the wider continent, it can be trickier to navigate if you're an American, not only due to complex visa rules, but also conflicts or anti-American sentiment.

Visiting Iraq, Jordan or Kuwait, you will be required to apply for a visa on arrival, with prices and passport requirements varying between countries, and even some of the visa-free destinations, like Lebanon and disputed Palestine, carry their own significant risks.

The war between Israel and Hamas has made the Jewish state equally high-risk for Americans to travel, especially now that Iran is weighing in .

We would definitely not encourage you to visit Iran, where Americans have been known to be arbitrarily arrested and accused of crimes despite being innocent and being aware of the multiple kidnapping cases, and only cross the Yemeni border at your own risk.

That being said, there are plenty more Middle Eastern countries that are risk-free .

These include visa-free Turkiye , home to the fascinating cross-continental city of Istanbul and the coastal resort of Antalya, the United Arab Emirates , with its futuristic Dubai, and the increasingly trendy Saudi Arabia: they are all formally neutral in the conflict, and they all warmly welcome American tourists.

• Saudi Arabia
• Turkiye (formerly spelled Turkey)
• United Arab Emirates

Yet another subcontinent – not formally a continent, but rather a geopolitical concept – Oceania is arguably the most peaceful territory on Earth in 2024, with no wars , low levels of crime, and limited travel restrictions imposed.

Americans can travel visa-free to most sovereign Oceanic states and self-governing, non-independent islands, including French Polynesia and New Caledonia, which are part of France, and the Cook Islands, which belong to New Zealand.

They even enjoy freedom of movement across State-Governed collectivities.

The two ‘big' countries in Oceania, Australia and New Zealand, do not grant unrestricted entry to Americans on the basis of holding a U.S. passport alone: applicants must have an Electronic Travel Authorization before boarding.

This is an easy requirement to fulfill, however, as it is easily obtained online, and it does not equal a visa. As for the rest of the Oceanic destinations, bar three – Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, and Nauru – presenting an American passport at the border is generally all the documentation you need.

• American Samoa*
• Australia**
• Cook Islands (New Zealand)**
• Eastern Island (Chile)
• French Polynesia (France)
• New Caledonia (France)
• New Zealand**
• Marshall Islands*
• Pitcairn Islands (United Kingdom)
