In summary, a US Green Card can open doors to short visits in many destinations without a separate visa, but it does not replace your passport. Always read each country’s policies carefully and carry printed copies where possible. Keep an eye on maximum stay limits and ensure your return or onward ticket, proof of funds and travel insurance are in order. Remember that admission is always at the discretion of border officials, and rules can change with little notice. Check airline and transit policies before you fly, especially for connections through countries with stricter controls. Travelling prepared will help you make the most of your visa-free eligibility and avoid unexpected delays.
