How to travel 37 countries VISA-FREE with US visaMay 1, 2019by Thirumal 447 CommentsYes, you read it correctly. Travel 37 countries VISA-FREE with US visa.I always encourage travelers from developing countries to get a US visa at some point. It opens up doors to many other countries. More and more countries are offering visa exemption with a valid US visa. This list is growing fast.If you are worried that the VISA-FREE list for your passport is just too small, then get a US visa. It will add about 37 countries to your VISA-FREE list. This is how you give more “power” to your “powerless” passport.—Why do countries offer visa exemption to US visa holders?Reason 1: Strict screeningUS visa application has a very strict screening process. US visa is also one of the most difficult visas to get. If you have a US visa, then you were screened pretty well already. Meaning, you do not have a criminal history or any illegal immigration intentions.Reason 2: Strong ties to your home countryUS visa application also makes sure you have strong ties to your home country. This is to avoid illegal immigration. If you were to stay illegally anywhere, you could have stayed illegally in the US itself. So, having a US visa reassures them that you have no intentions of remaining in their country illegally.Reason 3: Financial reasonsDeveloping countries do not have the infrastructure or the money to screen the applicants. If you were already screened by a country like the USA, there is no need to screen you again. In order to have a screening process that is as foolproof as the US, it costs a good chunk of money.BONUS: Click here for a country cheat sheet for your VISA-FREE travel with US visa—Which US visas are eligible?The following US visas can be usedTourist or Business Visa (B1/B2)Work Visa (L1/L2/H1/H4)Permanent Residency (Green card)Some countries allow F1 and C/D type of visas as well.Some countries require the US visa to be multiple-entry and have been used at least once to travel to the US.So, without further due, here is the list.Also Read: 14 ways to get a travel itinerary for visa application***North AmericaChichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico01.
