1. 1Batumi · GeorgiaGood to know: Always check your specific passport against the current list on geoconsul.gov.ge before booking — the visa-free country list is set by government decree and does change periodically, and different sources cite slightly different country counts (roughly 90-98) depending on when they were last updated.Among the 1% easiest cities for visas10/10
2. =2tiedAbu Dhabi · United Arab EmiratesGood to know: Rules are entirely nationality-based, not blanket — always check your specific passport against the official checker rather than assuming 'UAE is visa-free' applies to you.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
3. =2tiedBakuriani · GeorgiaGood to know: As of January 1, 2026, every visitor — including those entering visa-free — must carry travel medical insurance covering at least 30,000 GEL (roughly $11,360) for the full length of stay; buy a compliant policy before you fly rather than at the border.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
4. =2tiedDubai · United Arab EmiratesGood to know: If you hold a US, UK, EU, or most other Western passports, you typically get 90 days visa-free on arrival in Dubai with zero paperwork and zero fee — just show up and get stamped.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10

6. =2tiedGudauri · GeorgiaGood to know: Most nomad-relevant passports (US, EU/EEA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea) get a full 365 days visa-free per entry into Georgia — no visa run needed for a full year of travel.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
7. =2tiedKutaisi · GeorgiaGood to know: Most Western passport holders (EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc.) can simply fly in and get stamped in for up to 365 days with zero paperwork — one of the easiest and longest visa-free allowances anywhere, which is a big part of why Georgia (and Kutaisi as an entry point) is popular with nomads.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
8. =2tiedTbilisi · GeorgiaGood to know: The 365-day visa-free allowance applies per entry, not as a lifetime or single-calendar-year cap — many long-term nomads do a quick border run (e.g., to Armenia) once a year to reset the clock, though this is not a guaranteed right and officers can push back if they suspect long-term residence abuse.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
9. =2tiedTirana · AlbaniaGood to know: If you're eligible for visa-free entry, you generally won't get a passport stamp as an EU/EEA/Swiss traveler — track your own 90-day count carefully, since border officers won't do it for you.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
10. =2tiedYerevan · ArmeniaGood to know: The 180-day allowance is per rolling one-year period, not a fixed calendar year, so it's worth tracking your own entry/exit dates rather than assuming a hard reset each January 1st.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas9/10
11. 11Nassau · BahamasGood to know: Even though citizens of the US and Canada are technically eligible for stays up to 8 months, the stamp you actually receive on arrival is decided by the individual immigration officer — don't assume you'll get the maximum without asking or having a clear reason for a longer stay.Among the 5% easiest cities for visas8.5/10
12. =12tiedAntigua · GuatemalaGood to know: The 90 days is a combined CA-4 regional allowance, not 90 days per country — spending time in Honduras or El Salvador on the same trip eats into your Guatemala days too.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
13. =12tiedAsunción · ParaguayGood to know: Most Western nomads (US, Canada, EU, UK, Australia, NZ) can fly into Asunción and get a 90-day stamp on the spot with no paperwork beforehand — just a passport valid 6+ months, and ideally proof of onward travel.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
14. =12tiedAthens · GreeceGood to know: The 90/180-day limit is Schengen-wide, not per country — days spent in France, Italy, Spain, etc. in the prior 180 days count against your Greek allowance too.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
15. =12tiedBangkok · ThailandGood to know: Thailand's visa-exemption rules are in an active transition right now — the 60-day stay most nomads currently rely on is officially slated to shrink to 30 days, but the exact switch-over date depends on publication in the Royal Gazette, which had not happened as of early July 2026.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
16. =12tiedBarcelona · SpainGood to know: The 90 days is a Schengen-wide allowance, not per-country — if you've already spent time in other Schengen countries recently, it eats into your Spain days too.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
17. =12tiedBariloche · ArgentinaGood to know: For most nomads (US, Canadian, UK, EU, Australian, NZ passports), entry to Argentina — and Bariloche specifically, since it's an internal destination — just requires a passport stamp on arrival; no visa paperwork is needed in advance.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10

20. =12tiedBridgetown · BarbadosGood to know: Barbados does not issue visas on arrival — if your nationality isn't on the visa-exempt list, you must get a visa from a Barbadian embassy/mission before you fly, since there's no way to sort it out at the airport.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
21. =12tiedBuenos Aires · ArgentinaGood to know: This 90-day visa-free rule covers the large majority of nomads (US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, NZ passport holders) — check your specific nationality against the official Cancillería/Migraciones list since a handful of countries get shorter (e.g. 30-day) windows.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10

27. =12tiedIsla Mujeres · MexicoGood to know: The number of days you actually get is decided by the immigration officer at the airport/border, not automatically 180 — if you plan a long stay, it's worth confirming verbally and checking the printed date on your FMM slip before leaving the airport.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10

33. =12tiedMagaluf · SpainGood to know: The 90 days apply to the whole Schengen Area combined, not per country — spending 90 days in Spain uses up your entire allowance for other Schengen countries too during that 180-day window.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
34. =12tiedMálaga · SpainGood to know: The 90/180-day count is Schengen-wide, not just for Spain — time spent in France, Italy, Portugal, etc. all draws from the same 90-day allowance, so combining a Málaga base with hops around Europe can burn through your days faster than expected.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10

41. =12tiedPuerto Vallarta · MexicoGood to know: 180 days is a maximum, not a guarantee — some travelers now report getting fewer days written on their FMM, especially if they can't show a return ticket or clear itinerary, so it's worth checking the stamp or digital record before leaving the airport.Easier visas than about 90% of cities8/10
