Visa-Free Travel

Entering a country with no visa application at all, just your passport, a return ticket, and immigration's stamp.

Visa-free means you fly in, hand over your passport, and the immigration officer stamps you a free 14/30/60/90-day entry on the spot. No fee, no application, no documentation beyond a return ticket and a hotel booking.

Passport with **6 months** validity beyond your stay

Common rejection at visa-free entry: showing up with a one-way ticket. The airline won't let you board, and even if they do, the immigration officer will reject you and put you on the next flight back. Always carry a return.
