visa-free

Entry without paperwork

Visa-free describes travel or entry that doesn't require obtaining a visa in advance.

Citizens of countries with visa-free agreements can cross borders with just a passport: Americans enjoy visa-free access to most of Europe.

The term often appears in discussions of passport strength—how many countries a passport holder can visit visa-free.
