Visa Difficulty: Easiest to Hardest

How hard different countries' visas are to get.

Visa-free and visa-on-arrival destinations (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, Maldives) need no advance application. e-visas (Turkey, Singapore) and simple visas (Japan single, Korea) come next.

The US requires an interview with high officer discretion. Canada is fully online but strictly reviewed. Schengen countries like Germany and the Netherlands review documents carefully.

Start with visa-free trips and easy visas to build a travel record, then move to the UK, Schengen and Australia, and finally the US and Canada.
