Visa Requirements for British Passports

British passport holders can travel to all 43 European destinations on this list without applying for a visa in advance, one of the few passports in this group with a perfect record across the continent. Coverage across the Americas and Asia looks a lot like what US and Canadian travelers get, with the majority of countries visa-free and most of the rest offering an eVisa or visa on arrival option. Africa is where the gaps show up most, since fewer than a third of African destinations let UK citizens in without some form of advance approval.

This page covers requirements for short-stay tourist and visitor travel only. Business trips, work assignments, study programs, and immigration all follow separate application processes with their own documentation, so check with the relevant embassy or consulate before traveling for any of those purposes.
