There is no doubt that in 2025 the worldwide visa
travel requirements turned into a 21st century digital experience,
and I take advantage of the AI summaries that Google offers as answers to
questions, for example, the question I asked, "For 2025 travel visa
requirements", I received this AI generated answer: "As of 2025,
holders of a United States passport may travel to 183 countries and territories
without a travel visa, or with a visa on arrival.
The United States passport ranks 9th in terms of travel freedom, according to
the Henley Passport Index."
Also, on the same screen, I found more visa information
about transiting through the UK: "…Starting
January 8, 2025, U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom for short
visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK
airports, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if they do not
have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. This
requirement applies to all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland. The ETA
is similar to the U.S. ESTA system and acts as a pre-clearance for travel. This
change is part of the UK’s move towards a digital border system…"
Proof
positive that in 2025, visa travel worldwide has entered the digital era of the
21st century's tech information age, but this new AI industrial revolution may still need the human experience when a traveler has a complicated
itinerary, or prefers help and is willing to pay extra for those services, for experienced passport services, here are a
few as recommended by Goggle's AI informational to look up
online:
