Though there are no visa restrictions in these countries, there are some important notes to keep in mind when you travel to these countries. Even when you have a visa-free right to travel, you have to pass through the immigration control facility where the validity of your passport will be checked.

With these facilities, you avoid the hassles of visa filing but you still have to show evidence of return journeys, hotel reservations, and funds. So be prepared for the process.
