Where you can go as a visitor if your passport is from the United States

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 3 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 30 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

Where your nationality changes the answer

United States Citizens: a USD 160 Entry Authorisation

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

Bolivia sorts nationalities into three groups. The first needs no tourist visa and is admitted on a national identity document or a passport. The second needs a visa. The third needs a visa that a consulate may only issue after the migration directorate has checked the file. A tourist visa is granted for 30 days, and inside Bolivia it can be extended by up to 60 more; but the regulation also caps a tourist at 90 calendar days a year, which is the number that decides how long you can actually stay. Bolivia does not publish which countries sit in which group.

United States Nationals Need a Visa Again

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

A visit visa, or a waiver where your nationality has one, buys up to 90 days, which the Federal Police may extend by up to 90 more. The ceiling is 180 days in a migratory year, and the regulation defines a migratory year as twelve months from your own first entry, so the clock is personal rather than a calendar. Two details are usually lost. The extension is available only to nationals of countries that give Brazilians the same treatment, so the second 90 days is not a general right. And the foreign ministry's own visa table marks many European nationalities with an asterisk meaning a maximum of 90 days in any 180 - stricter than the decree, and the number actually applied at the border. Unlike most of its neighbours, Brazil lets a visitor apply for residency without leaving.

United States citizens: named in the statute, thirty days on a card instead of a consular visa

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

The instrument still on the books gives a visitor thirty days. Haiti's missions tell travellers ninety. The Loi du 8 décembre 1959 sur l'immigration et l'émigration rewrote article 16 of the immigration law so that American and Canadian tourists, and nationals of countries that have an agreement with Haiti waiving passport or visa formalities, may enter on a simple card and stay thirty days; everyone else buys a visa from a Haitian consulate. Haiti's own embassy in Canada describes something different and larger: no prior visa for a Canadian staying under ninety days, entry formalities settled on arrival at any international airport or land border, and a ninety-day "séjour de courtoisie" after which a residence permit becomes compulsory. Both are Haitian government statements and they do not say the same thing. The statute also makes leaving a formality: article 43 requires an exit visa of any foreigner subject to an entry visa who has been in the country more than seventy-two hours.
