Where can I go with my new passport?
|
LIST OF COUNTRIES – VISA FREE OR STAMPED ON ARRIVAL
Countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, Ireland, UK, UAE, Thailand, Montenegro, Hong Kong and others remain visa free. If you want to enter the Schengen area, you have to apply for a visa just like if you want to go to the USA. It’s not a bad thing, because every other NON-EU member will have to apply for an EU visa anyway |
