Do you need a visa?

The Red Passport

If you are a British citizen, you hold a passport ranked 1st in the world by the World Tourism Organisation in terms of freedom of travel.

A British Passport entitles the holder to have visa free, or visa on arrival travel for approximately 175 countries across the world, and in this entry I will list the different types of visa requirements for some of the most popular destinations in the world broken down by region. 

Things to consider

Its worth noting that this isn't a comprehensive list, and I would also check the official UK Government website for the most up to date information on visa requirements.

For some of these locations, you have to pay for a visa on arrival and the cost of these visa's can vary across countries. For those countries where a visa is not required, this is always subject to conditions and length of time can vary: in some countries you can travel without a visa for 180 days in others its much shorter, with 30 days being most common.
