Do American passports need visas to go to other countries?

American passports go to other countries, and some need visas, such as Chinese mainland; Some don't need a visa, such as Japan.

By the end of February 20 18, 15, American passport holders (American citizens) can visit 176 countries and regions without visas or visas on arrival, and the Heinz visa restriction index ranks fifth.

Visa-free countries are all countries close to the United States, such as Western Europe, Japan and Australia, and the number of stay days in different countries is different. If the holder goes to Hong Kong and Taiwan for tourism or business and other short-term stays, he can stay visa-free for 90 days and stay visa-free for 30 days in Macau, but he still needs to apply for a visa in advance to enter Chinese mainland.
