Americans don't need to apply visa?

My friend said
if you are an American, you don't need to apply visas to all
European countries.

I am wondering if that is true???

Thanks all

Answer:
It's called the Visa Waiver Program. There are currently 27 or 28 countries (mostly in Western Europe, but also Japan) which have agreements with the U.S. to allow visa-free travel for tourists staying less than 90 days. It works both ways . . . Americans don't need a visa to travel to the U.K., and U.K. citizens don't need a visa to travel to the U.S. The list of countries can change, as long as the other countries meet certain requirements.

If you intend to work or stay longer than 90 days a visa is still required.
Well...I live in Sweden and its much harder to get a VISA here...doesnt matter if ur an american or french or finnish.... Well.. visiting is ofcourse allowed... limit is 3 months in a row for most countries. Usually every country has their site which countries which can stay in their country for 3 months and countries that they are very carefull....

But to stay and live in an european country and get a real visa might not be the easiest.
If you have a US passport, you do not need a visa to most European countries - and if you are travelling as a tourist and not business or work.

You can check out which countries you require (or not required) to have a visa and the guidelines: http://travel.state.gov/travel/travel_17...
It depends on what you're going to Europe for.
In the UK, you need visas for anything other than a holiday; and you must be able to reasonably answer the immigration officer's questions, to prove that you are in fact there for a holiday.
If you mean apply for a visa before traveling, your friend is correct. Most European countries will give an American a tourist visa upon entering their country.
We have a 'visa waiver' program with a number of the 'old European' countries, not so much eastern Europe which was behind the iron curtain when we struck those relationships.
It is true. Take Turkey for example; You simply pay for your visa at the airport when you get there. No application or messing about. You just need to check with your local travel agents to find out which countries are like that.
Yes it is as long as you stay for 30 days to 6 months. Longer than that and We need a Visa depending on country.
