What Does “Visa-Free” Actually Mean?

Visa-free does NOT mean no requirements. It simply means:

No pre-applied visa — no embassy visits or long processing time.
Direct entry — immigration stamps your passport on arrival.
Basic conditions still apply like passport validity, hotel booking, return ticket, and proof of funds.
Visa-free is not permission to work or stay long-term.

In short, visa-free travel removes paperwork and makes international trips faster, cheaper, and effortless.
