Can I Travel to the Europe Without a Visa?

Whether you can travel to Europe without a visa depends on your nationality and the country you intend to visit:

Visa-Free Travel to Europe

1. Schengen Area Countries:

o Citizens of visa-exempt countries (e.g., USA, Canada, Australia, Japan) can visit Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa for tourism or business.

o From 2025, an ETIAS travel authorization will be required for visa-exempt travelers.

2. Other European Countries:

o Some non-Schengen countries like Albania, Serbia, and Montenegro allow visa-free entry for certain nationalities.

o Countries like the UK, Ireland, and others may have separate visa requirements.

Traveling Without a Visa

• If your nationality does not qualify for visa-free travel, you must apply for a visa, such as a Schengen visa for the Schengen area or a national visa for non-Schengen European countries.

How to Confirm Your Status

• Check your eligibility for visa-free travel based on your passport using the official websites of the European country or the Schengen Area.
