## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — United States ordinary passports: tourism visa exemption** (Visa-free)
  Current official traveller guidance expressly identifies United States nationals as subject to a visa-exemption arrangement when travelling for tourism.
  - The exemption is expressly stated for tourism. It does not establish visa-free business, work, residence, transit, study, media, volunteer, diplomatic, official, service or special-document access.
  - The statement appears in current air-or-sea arrival guidance. It does not independently establish a separate land-border entitlement or remove normal documentary, health, security and individual-admissibility checks.
  - The statutory 30-day tourist-visa duration does not itself specify the stay length of the exemption; comply with the entry permission actually granted and any current Immigration conditions.
