American Passport

The American passport is a travel document issued by the U.S. government. It allows its bearer to travel internationally. American citizens enjoy visa-free access to 113 countries. This means no prior application is needed to enter these destinations.

In addition to visa-free travel, Americans can apply for an e-visa for 43 countries. An e-visa is an electronic document which allows entry. It is obtained through an online application process. For 17 countries, Americans can acquire a visa upon arrival. This is obtained after landing in the country.

However, a traditional visa is required for 22 countries. This means American citizens must apply for a visa before traveling to these destinations. The United States has a population of over 331 million, making it the third most populous country in the world.

Where U.S. Citizens Can Travel Without a Visa

Where can U.S. citizens travel without a visa? Here's what you need to know before planning your next international trip.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

Luckily for most Americans, the main thing you have to worry about before jetting off on vacation is making sure your passport is up-to-date . U.S. citizens have pretty unrestricted access to most international stops. However, that doesn't mean you never have to check if your destination of choice requires a visa. So, where can U.S. citizens travel without a visa? A better question might be: Where can't Americans travel without a visa?

Despite any restrictions placed on travel during the first two years of the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. citizens continue to have one of the world's most powerful passports , allowing for visa-free access to most countries around the globe. In fact, the Henley & Partners Passport Index ranked the U.S. passport seventh in its 2023 list of the world's passports because it provides citizens visa-free access to 187 destinations, including countries that require Electronic Travel Authorization (often called an eTA) or a visa on arrival.

Americans can travel to most European, Caribbean, and Central and South American countries without a visa, along with many other popular tourism destinations. Countries that U.S. passport holders need visas to enter include Russia, India, China, Vietnam, Turkey, and more, and others require e-visas to visit.

If you want to see where you can travel without a visa, start by visiting the Henley & Partners Passport Index and selecting the country that your passport is from. Then, you can see which countries require a visa to visit. Find more information on the U.S. Department of State travel site , where you can search specific country requirements.

Of course, visa-free travel doesn't give U.S. citizens the ability to go wherever they want for as long as they want. The amount of time that you can stay in a country without needing a visa varies from place to place, so be sure to check the local immigration and customs rules before planning your trip, especially if you're hoping to travel for an extended period of time. If you're visiting a destination that requires a visa, know that the process can be lengthy and expensive, so factor that in when choosing your departure date and trip budget.

This map shows which countries in the world U.S. passport holders can and cannot visit

Once heralded as the "strongest passport" in the world, the Unites States document is pretty weak at the moment.

It is one thing to browse through a list of destinations currently open to American travelers —albeit following restrictions, of course. But it is another (more visually striking) thing to glance at that same information on a map that illustrates in stark colors what visa-free travel for U.S. passport holders looked like pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic.

That map is exactly what Twitter user @indica has created based on a New York Times  article dissecting where, exactly, a U.S. passport will grant one access to. "Americans have gone from having access to most of the world to being banned from most of it," writes the user in an accompanying post about his map on Medium . 

Right above, notice the two iterations of his work. In both cases, countries colored green are ones permitting Americans access. The difference between the maps—which @indica dubbed, respectively, "visa-free travel for the Plague States of America" and "visa-free travel for the United States of America—" is pretty substantial and borderline... depressing?

Of course, things are changing. Just yesterday, Croatia announced that it will break with its fellow European nations and re-open for tourism from all around the world  (including the Untied States!) this month. Needless to say, we advise all travelers to be extra-careful and take the necessary precautions before embarking on a (much-needed) vacation overseas.

US Passport Visa-Free Countries 2024

A United States passport is a powerful document to have, ranking 8th in terms of travel freedom according to the 2024 Henley Passport Index . The Henley Passport Index is a global ranking of countries' passports according to the travel freedom they afford their holders.

Where can U.S. passport holders travel visa-free?

As of July 27, 2024, US citizens can travel visa-free to 186 countries and territories (though a few require a visa on arrival). Note, however, that some of these countries do implement stiffer requirements after the traveler has stayed a certain length of time—typically 30, 60, 90, or 180 days.

Perhaps most importantly, considering Europe 's popularity as a vacation destination, US citizens do not need a tourist visa to enter any of the 27 countries of the European Union —or the United Kingdom , which recently left the EU.

Countries that still require a visa ... and possibly something more

In countries where visas are required, travelers must typically pay registration fees, departure taxes, and travel fees. For example, if a U.S. citizen wants to travel to Russia , a visa is required, can take up to three weeks to process, and costs $139. However, as of Sept 5, 2023, the US Dept of State has issued a warning for US citizens to avoid traveling to Russia due to its war with Ukraine and a highly unsafe situation for foreigners, especially US citizens.

Many countries require potential visitors to be fingerprinted and photographed.

In addition, some countries screen potential visitors based upon their previous destinations. In Lebanon , Syria , Yemen , Iran , Libya , Kuwait and Sudan , anyone with Israeli entry or exit stamps on their passport may be denied entry into the country.

China also requires a travel visa for US citizens. The application must include travel dates, itinerary, and proof of onward travel out of China. The application must also be typed and have no handwritten corrections. Additionally, every visitor to China between the ages of 14 and 70 is fingerprinted upon arrival and departure.

Which country is off-limits to U.S. citizens?

US citizens are not permitted to travel to North Korea , with or without a visa. The travel ban took effect in 2017 after a United States student died after being released from a North Korean prison. Failure to adhere to the rules can result in criminal penalties and having one's passport revoked. To travel to North Korea, US passport holders need to obtain a special passport validation from the United States government.

Always double-check before departure

Before traveling, it is necessary to check the visa requirements of one's destination. It's also important to check any travel advisories a country might have, which are issued by the U.S. Department of State for unsafe countries .

• ETA and VOA indicate countries where an Electronic Travel Authority document or a Visa On Arrival may be obtained upon arrival in the country.
• E-VISA indicates a country that requires a government-issued electronic visa for entry.
• Visa requirements and travel advisories may change at any time. Prospective travelers are advised to always confirm requirements with official sources at their intended destinations.

NOMAD CAPITALIST THE BOOK

Andrew Henderson wrote the #1 best-selling book that redefines life as a diversified, global citizen in the 21st century… and how you can join the movement.

Visa-Free Countries for US Citizens in 2024

Once considered the best, most powerful travel document in the world, the US passport is beginning to lose its appeal. 

That’s evident from many sources, including our own Nomad Passport Index which, in 2024, ranks the US passport in a lowly 44th place, just above Uruguay but still behind Argentina. That’s a shocking statistic for a country so used to striding confidently across the world stage.

But that fall from grace has been coming for some time. In recent years, the US has become more focused on levying taxes, enforcing stringent regulations and promoting an unhealthy distaste for the wealthy.

No wonder more and more US citizens are looking for a Plan B that allows them to diversify their wealth and get a second passport to ensure they’re prepared for whatever may come.

That’s where we come in. At Nomad Capitalist, we encourage people to go where they’re treated best. As the Nomad Capitalist founder, Andrew Henderson, discussed in a recent Ted Talk, that means not being afraid to leave your home country if it no longer aligns with your needs and beliefs. 

Staying where you are because you were born there or because, once upon a time, it was the best does not serve your best interests. You need to go somewhere that values the same things you value and wants to promote your growth. 

In many ways, that’s no longer true of the United States of America. One thing the country still scores well on, however, is travel freedom. A US passport offers visa-free access to over 80% of the world.

Then again, so does a passport from Malta , Portugal , Singapore and many other countries. Unlike the US, these are places that value foreign entrepreneurs, are tax-friendly and offer many lucrative investment opportunities.

Again, that’s where Nomad Capitalist can help you. Whether you want to renounce your US citizenship or look for better personal and business opportunities while keeping your US passport, we can help you.

At Nomad Capitalist, we’ve helped over 1500 clients go where they’re treated best, and we can help you do the same. Set up a call today to legally reduce your taxes, diversify your passport portfolio and acquire peace of mind.

Benefits of Owning a US Passport in 2024

Passport Strength

According to the Nomad Passport Index , US passport holders can travel to 172 countries either visa free or without having to obtain a visa in advance (meaning these countries offer visa on arrival or electronically). 

In the modern fast-paced world of business, visa-free travel matters for US citizens. Whether you’re a digital nomad or someone looking for a more permanent place overseas to live and work, visa-free access offers many opportunities. It allows you to visit for a short period and assess if the lifestyle, climate, real estate market and job opportunities are worth relocating for.

In short, it gives you an idea of what’s on offer should you decide to apply for residence and incentives such as a digital nomad visa . US citizens can, for example, travel visa-free to Germany and apply for their Freelance Visa , which is valid for a  year and can be renewed.

So, despite the increasing government regulations and IRS tax enforcement, the US still ranks high in global terms for openness to business. That means that, for those determined to do business in the US, despite its complicated tax system and government policies, it can still be a land of opportunity.

Visa-Free Countries for US Citizens

As of 2024, US passport holders can travel visa-free or visa-on-arrival to 172 countries. As long as you do not stay longer than permitted, you can remain in those countries with just your passport. For example, in Colombia , a US passport holder can stay in the country for up to three months . 

This can be extended to six months with permission from the government but if you wish to remain in the country for more than six months, you’ll need to apply for a visa. 

Visa-Free Countries for US Passport Holders

As we discussed above, the US passport is still a fairly powerful travel document, despite the many setbacks the nation is facing. Below are some of the countries you can travel visa-free to with a US passport:

• Netherlands
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Saint Kitts and Nevis
• Saint Lucia
• Sao Tome and Principe
• South Korea (Visa requirements lifted until December 2024)
• South Africa
• Czech Republic
• North Macedonia
• Dominican Republic
• Switzerland
• El Salvador
• Marshall Islands
• Trinidad and Tobago
• Tonga (No visa for trips of 30 days or less)
• United Kingdom
• Vatican City
• United Arab Emirates (30 days or less).

Although these locations don’t have visa requirements for US citizens, you should still do your research before hopping on a plane and entering a foreign airport. For example, although you don’t need a visa for the Schengen Area with a US passport, from 2025 you may need to fulfil the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) requirements for entry. This is a planned electronic authorisation system of the European Union for visa-exempt visitors travelling to the Schengen area. 

If you’re planning a trip to the Schengen Area, an area encompassing 29 European countries, keep in mind that your stay in each counts towards a combined limit of 90 days. So, if you stay in Germany for 35 days and then travel to Poland, you can only stay in Poland for 55 days. 

Countries That Require Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

An eTA allows a country to screen visitors before they enter the country, increasing its security and transparency.

The US has an ESTA system for certain visa-exempt foreign nationals. Countries that require US citizens to have an eTA includes places like Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Although not used by every country, electronic travel authorisation is a far quicker process than completing a full visa application.. 

Visa-on-Arrival Countries for US Passport Holders

The Visa-on-Arrival (VOA) process is much more straightforward than the standard process of getting a visa. When travelling to VOA countries, you need to obtain a visa through immigration before entering the country.

In most cases, the applicants have to go through an online pre-approval process and approved travellers are then granted a visa through an accelerated process at the port of entry. For VOA applicants, the immigration process is faster and less stressful.

The following countries are some of those that require US passport holders to obtain a visa on arrival (VOA):

• Burkina Faso
• Saudi Arabia
• Sierra Leone
• Comoro Islands
• Solomon Islands
• South Sudan
• Guinea-Bissau

US citizens can enjoy visa-free travel to the countries above, but each may have its own rules about passport validity, duration of stay, and other such requirements.

US citizens can travel visa-free to all European Union countries and do not need a tourist visa for stays up to 90 days.

For longer stays, each country has its own immigration process and requirements. For example, some countries may require travellers to carry an International Certificate of Vaccination.

How Do US Citizens Visit Countries with Visa Requirements?

Americans can enjoy visa-free travel to the majority of the world’s countries without going through a standard visa-acquiring process.

However, a relatively small number require visiting US citizens to have a visa and go through the following process:

• Choose the purpose of a visit : This will define the type of visa that you will obtain and whether it’s a multiple-entry visa or not.
• Submit application : You will be required to submit a visa application with supporting documents at the embassy of the country you plan to visit.
• Have an interview : Make an appointment in the nearest embassy or consulate and appear for an interview.

Different countries have different procedures but all have these common steps.

Restricted Countries for US Citizens

A few nations restrict US citizens from entering.

For example, they cannot travel to North Korea without a special passport validation from the US Government. Contrary to popular belief, they are allowed to visit Cuba but, again, they will require special legal permission in advance to do so. 

Other countries like China and Russia do permit US citizens to visit, although they must complete the visa process before arrival. 

Is a US Passport Still Worth Having? 

We’ve discussed the countries US passport holders can travel to visa-free, but a passport is more than a travel document; it’s both a tangible and symbolic representation of one’s national identity.

In terms of the travel freedoms it offers, a US passport is strong, but what about the freedom, rights and opportunities available to its citizens?

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the United States but at Nomad Capitalist we believe there are better options for high-net-worth individuals to reduce their taxes and protect and grow their assets. That could be in a tax-friendly country with a high quality of life and freedom or it could mean living in one country and having your business in another. 

We call it ‘going where you’re treated best’ and many clients are successfully living our Trifecta lifestyle in multiple countries.

So, here are some reasons you should consider the alternatives if you are a US citizen. 

Complicated Tax System

The US has a citizenship-based taxation (CBT) system, meaning that the government will follow you to the ends of the earth and tax you wherever you live. The US is one of only two countries with a CBT system, the other being Eritrea.

There are some exclusions for US citizens overseas but in general you’ll likely liable for US taxes and at the very least you’ll be obliged to file a tax return and report all economic activity to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). That’s why it’s challenging for US citizens to pay lower taxes overseas unless they renounce US citizenship . 

Increasing Government Regulation

It is estimated that regulations cost US businesses roughly US$300 billion a year, with the costs increasing as firms grow from small to medium size. 

With the Biden administration introducing a minimum 15% corporate tax on larger enterprises to close previously legal tax loopholes, it seems the tax and regulatory environment in the US is currently being geared to punish rather than promote business. 

All it takes is one presidential signature and your business can face more costs and higher taxes. We used to think of the US as a business-friendly country, but recent events show that this may no longer be the case.

US Passport Shortcomings

A US passport may allow access to 172 countries but US citizens still must obtain a visa to travel to China, the world’s second-largest economy. The additional visa requirements may restrict entrepreneurs from benefiting from the Chinese market.

Suppose you are a businessperson interested in China? You should think about acquiring a second passport that offers visa-free access to China and allows you to work there without any restrictions.

That kind of passport exists. And China is just one of several examples – all of which means that, while a US passport has a lot of power, it may not meet your personal needs or goals. 

Visa-Free Countries for US Citizens in 2024: FAQs

A standard, adult US passport and passport card costs US$130 plus processing fees. The cost increases if the process needs to be expedited.

Under certain limited circumstances, US citizens are allowed to hold other passports while retaining their US passport.

Only US citizens (either by birth or naturalisation) and certain non-citizen US nationals. 

Expand Your Passport Portfolio

The US passport is a powerful document if you want to travel without restrictions but the freedoms associated with the US citizenship it confers are beginning to diminish. Many citizens are now realising that the United States just isn’t the same nation it was even 20 years ago.

Rising taxes, high inflation, skyrocketing cost of living, costly and inadequate healthcare, along with crime are all factors that are currently driving many US citizens to look for an escape route.

It takes planning to get a second passport and ensure you have the ideal combination of location, lifestyle, tax planning and asset protection strategies to achieve your goals.

Renouncing US citizenship is a tried-and-tested means of reducing your taxes but, even by choosing to live overseas, you can still substantially lower them without renouncing.

Whatever you decide to do, it must be structured properly. You’ll need to incorporate the best solutions from all available options. That could mean moving to a zero-tax jurisdiction or establishing a base in Europe, or closer to home, and paying some tax. 

It’s what we call ‘ going where you are treated best ’ and it looks different for each of the 1500-plus high-net-worth people we’ve helped. Our global team of over 80 professionals and country-specific advisors leave no stone unturned when it comes to helping you win personal and financial freedom.

Where You Can Travel Without a Passport (Beyond the 50 United States)

If u.s. passport wait times and bureaucracy have you cringing at the thought of obtaining a new passport or renewing an expired one, here are some enticing destinations you can travel to without..

• Copy Link copied

No passport? You can still visit the gorgeous Fatu (or Flowerpot) Rock in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

Iryna Makukha/Shutterstock

Americans looking to renew or obtain a new U.S. passport have been met with myriad challenges in recent years, not the least of which has been long delays. And while passport processing times are finally coming down a bit (now an estimated eight to 11 weeks , as opposed to 10 to 13 weeks earlier this year), it’s still not ideal for those hoping to go on an international beach vacay, like, yesterday.

Luckily for travelers caught in administrative limbo (or for people who don’t care to get a passport), there are numerous destinations American travelers can visit with just a government-issued I.D. and proof of citizenship. Of course that includes the wealth of beautiful, nature-filled outdoor landscapes (including dozens of national parks ) and culture-packed city hubs Americans can travel to right here in the United States .

Beyond the 50 United States, these are all the places American citizens can visit without a passport.

U.S. territories

Lush greenery and the Pacific islander life awaits in American Samoa.

American Samoa

Blending Polynesian and American influences, these five islands in the South Pacific (located roughly 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii) are rimmed by white sand beaches and reefs teeming with marine life. And while American Samoa sees fewer than 23,000 visitors each year, any American citizen can legally travel there. Because American Samoa has been a U.S. territory since 1900, American travelers don’t need a passport to visit —they just need a Real I.D. You’ll also need an onward or return ticket to be let into the country, per the U.S. Department of State.

Relax and unwind (sans passport) on Tanguisson Beach in Guam.

Micronesia’s most populous island has all the trappings of paradise: golden sand beaches, swaying palms, cascading waterfalls, and a laid-back culture. And even though it’s more than 6,000 miles southwest of Los Angeles, U.S. citizens are considered domestic travelers in Guam, so no passport is required if you connect through Honolulu (the other options are flying through Tokyo and Seoul, which would require a passport). You will, however, need a government-issued I.D. and proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.

Go even further off the grid and head to the Northern Mariana Islands.

Northern Mariana Islands

The Northern Mariana Islands , a remote archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean just northeast of Guam, are another spot for American sun-seekers to experience tropical landscapes and crystal-clear water sans passport. However, like Guam, you’ll need to choose a flight path that doesn’t have layovers in countries where passports are required, like Japan; your best option is to fly through Honolulu and Guam. Travelers only need a photo I.D. and a birth certificate to visit.

Go to Puerto Rico for the rich culture and beautiful beaches—stay for the lesser-known natural landscapes such as Cañón de San Cristóbal.

Luis Santiago/Unsplash

Puerto Rico

With wildly diverse terrain, colorful historic towns, and a thriving nightlife scene, Puerto Rico makes a compelling case for leaving the mainland for a while. Because Puerto Ricans were given U.S. citizenship under the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917, the island is considered part of the U.S. for immigration and travel purposes, even if it isn’t a state. U.S. citizens are not required to have a passport to visit Puerto Rico—they just need a valid government-issued I.D., such as a driver’s license or state I.D. card.

There are options for travelers without passports when it comes to the Caribbean, including St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Caleb Holden/Unsplash

U.S. Virgin Islands

If you’re keen on a holiday that involves gazing at shimmering turquoise water and listening to the rhythmic shush of waves breaking on the beach, you might consider another Caribbean gem: the U.S. Virgin Islands , a U.S. territory since 1917 consisting of three main islands (St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix). All you need (beyond a plane ticket or cruise booking) is a valid government-issued I.D. and a birth certificate, and soon you’ll be sipping cocktails on pristine beaches, snorkeling with riotously colorful fish, and dancing to steel drums.

International closed-loop cruises that don’t require a passport

Book a holiday closed-loop cruise that includes Belize and you can travel to this Central American country with no passport.

Meritt Thomas/Unsplash

Another loophole for passport-less travelers who would like to experience an international locale are “closed-loop” cruises . A closed-loop cruise is a sailing that starts and ends at the same U.S. port and only visits select countries in the Western Hemisphere. On these cruises, passengers aren’t required to have a passport. The countries include:

• The Bahamas
• British Virgin Islands
• Cayman Islands
• Dominican Republic
• Turks and Caicos

Travelers are still required to have proof of citizenship, however. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection , that can include an Enhanced Driver’s License (currently available only to residents of Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington); a government-issued birth certificate; or an official Certificate of Naturalization . Passengers who are 16 years and older also need to supply their photo I.D. (such as a driver’s license).

It’s worth noting, however, that if the cruise stops in even a single country or territory where passports are required (such as Barbados, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Bart’s, or Trinidad and Tobago), you’ll need a passport for the entire journey. And it’s recommended that passengers bring a passport on these cruises, even if it’s not technically required, in the event that they need to leave the cruise early and fly to or from an international destination.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

A passport with more than six months of validity remaining, a visa, and proof of vaccination against yellow fever are required for entry into Gabon. For additional immunization information, visit the CDC’s  Health Information for Travelers to Gabon .

The most reliable means of securing a visa for travel to Gabon is to apply prior to departure at the Embassy of the Gabonese Republic  in Washington D.C. or the Consulate of the Gabonese Republic  in New York. Please check their websites for visa requirements.

Immigration officials may require travelers to provide proof of a flight itinerary with a departure from Gabon, the name, number, and address of a contact in Gabon or  an invitation letter from a person or entity in Gabon,  and a confirmed hotel reservation. There have been some reports of airlines refusing to issue a boarding pass for travel to Gabon when a traveler is unable to present a Gabonese visa prior to departure.

Short-term visitors to Gabon are permitted to stay up to 90 days. Visitors who wish to remain in the country for longer than 90 days must obtain a residence permit (carte de séjour). Exit visas for U.S. residents with a carte de séjour are no longer required.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Gabon.

Gabon may deny entry to people coming from Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) affected countries.

Find information on dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction , and customs information on our websites.

Safety and Security

Political rallies and social protests may occur spontaneously in Gabon, particularly in Libreville and Port Gentil. Even gatherings intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational or violent. Be aware of your surroundings and personal security at all times. Avoid large gatherings, protests, demonstrations, and any other event where crowds congregate. Police and security forces typically disperse crowds using tear gas or other force.

Crime:  Muggings, pick-pocketing, and theft of unattended possessions are the most common forms of crime visitors encounter. There have been reports of violent crime, including armed robbery. Vehicle break-ins and residential burglaries continue to be a problem in Libreville and Port Gentil.

Carry identification at all times to minimize the risk of harassment at police checkpoints.

Avoid poorly lit streets and unfamiliar areas of the city, especially at night. Avoid beaches after dusk. Carry a minimal amount of cash and avoid wearing flashy or expensive jewelry, especially in markets and nightlife spots. In a robbery, comply with the attacker to avoid injury.

In the event of a fire, dial 18 in Libreville. In Port Gentil, please dial 07-63-93-63 or 01-56-27-75.

See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information on scams.

Victims of Crime:  Report crimes to the local police and contact the U.S. Embassy at +(241) 01-45-71-00. The local equivalent to the “911” emergency line to reach the police is 177 (not available on all cell phones). For the police, call 01-76-55-85 in Libreville and 01-55-22-54 (Central Police Station) or 07-36-22-25 in Port Gentil.  French is often required.

Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

• Help you find appropriate medical care
• Assist you in reporting a crime to the police
• Contact relatives or friends with your written consent
• Explain the local criminal justice process in general terms
• Provide a list of local attorneys
• Provide our information on victim’s compensation programs in the U.S.
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution
• Help you find accommodations and arrange flights home
• Replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence may contact the Embassy for assistance.

Tourism:  The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities are inconsistent. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be certified by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in/near major cities. First responders are generally unable to access areas outside of major cities and to provide urgent medical treatment. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Immigration Violations: U.S. citizens working or residing in Gabon must comply with Gabonese immigration laws. Non-compliance with such laws may be punished with fines and up to six months’ imprisonment. You should consult a Gabonese lawyer to assure compliance with immigration and residence laws.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our  webpage  for further information.

Language:  The official language of Gabon is French. English is not widely spoken or understood.

Identification:  You should always carry identification and proof of legal immigration status in Gabon. Examples of identification include a residence permit (carte de séjour), U.S. passport, or an authenticated photocopy of your U.S. passport’s biographic information page, and your Gabonese visa. City hall offices in Gabon can authenticate passport photocopies for a nominal fee.

Photography:  Taking photographs of the Presidential Palace, airport, and military or other government buildings is strictly forbidden.

Official Corruption:  Official corruption is common, but paying bribes is strongly discouraged and may make you a target for further attempts at securing bribery payments.

Currency:  Gabon is largely a cash economy. Credit cards are accepted at only a few major hotels. Due to the high rate of credit card fraud, you should exercise caution when using them. Traveler’s checks can be cashed or dollars exchanged for Central African Francs (CFA) at hotels and banks. ATMs are available in major urban centers and dispense CFA. Exercise caution while withdrawing funds from ATMs.

Faith-Based Travelers:  See our following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report  – see country reports
• Human Rights Report  – see country reports
• Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTI Travelers:  There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTI events in Gabon. Although there have been no reports of violence against LGBTI persons, discrimination, including in housing and employment, is a problem. Many LGBTI individuals choose to keep their status secret, except in trusted circles. Stigma is a likely factor in preventing the reporting of incidents.  

See   our  LGBTI Travel Information   page and Section 6 of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance:   Persons with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different in Gabon from what they find in the United States. The law prohibits discrimination against persons with “physical, mental, congenital, and accidental” disabilities and requires access to buildings or services for persons which such disabilities. Most public buildings do not provide adequate access. There is some societal discrimination against persons with disabilities and treatment facilities are limited.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety: All drivers and passengers should wear seat belts, lock doors, and keep windows closed. Travelers are routinely stopped at police checkpoints within cities and on roads to the interior. During routine stops, the police may occasionally seek bribes.

Use extreme caution when driving after dark.  Roads to outlying cities are usually unpaved and in poor condition, with large potholes, absence of road signs, poor to non-existent streetlights, timber-laden trucks, and the presence of pedestrians and animals. Construction work is generally poorly indicated. Drivers may change lanes or stop unexpectedly and lane markings are frequently ignored. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for travel beyond the paved road to Lambaréné, especially during the rainy season.

Roadside assistance and emergency medical services are available in Libreville, but they may not be dependable. These services are nonexistent outside of the city. Service stations are available along main roads, but vehicle repair facilities are not always available.

Traffic Laws and Culture: During short-term tourist or business visits, U.S. citizens may drive a vehicle in Gabon provided they have both a valid U.S. and an international driver’s license. Those residing or working in Gabon (holders of a carte de séjour) must either obtain a Gabonese driver’s license (permis de conduire), or register their U.S. driver’s license with the Direction National de Transport Terrestre.

The following items must be kept in the vehicle at all times: the vehicle registration (carte grise), proof of insurance (assurance), proof of vehicle inspection (visite technique), fire extinguisher (extincteur de feu), triangles (triangles), and first aid kit (boite de soins de premiers secours). The police may verify that the driver has all of the required documentation and equipment if they stop a car on the road or at a police checkpoint.

It is against the law to use a cell phone while driving in Gabon. 

When driving a vehicle or as a passenger in a taxi, you should:

• Keep your belongings out of sight
• Ensure the doors are locked
• Fasten your seat belts
• Keep the windows rolled up

If you are driving, while stopped in traffic, scan rearview mirrors to identify potential trouble. If you are idling at a stop light or sign, leave adequate maneuver room between vehicles to allow for a hasty departure if necessary.  Even in daylight, thieves may open unlocked vehicle doors to snatch valuables. Park only in well-lit areas, preferably in parking lots with a security guard.

Public Transportation: Avoid public transportation throughout Libreville due to the substantial risk of serious and fatal accidents. Many lack proper safety equipment such as seat belts and headlights and are often overcrowded and unlicensed. Drivers are often reckless, making frequent stops to pick up passengers, drive at high speeds, and ignore traffic or road conditions.

Taxi safety and maintenance varies widely. Informal, unregulated taxis are common throughout the city.  Select taxis in good condition and verify that there are passenger seatbelts and avoid those in poor condition. Most major hotels will call an official taxi upon request. Unless using a metered taxi, negotiate the fare and request sole use of the taxi with the driver before entering the taxi.

An inter-city rail system exists, running from Libreville to Franceville with stops at numerous small cities and towns along the way. 

Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information and seek information from Gabonese authorities responsible for road safety.

Aviation Safety Oversight: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Gabon, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Gabon’s Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel:   Mariners planning travel to Gabon should check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Security Communications with Industry WebPortal . Information may also be posted to the  U.S. Coast Guard homeport website and as a broadcast warning on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s website .
