A friend recently asked Summer which South American countries can be visited with a U.S. visa at a moment’s notice:
– Chile
– Peru
– Colombia
– Uruguay
In Summer’s opinion, even though Bolivia requires a visa, it can still be considered a spontaneous destination. The visa can be obtained at various locations across South America, and the required documents are straightforward, with a quick processing time 💪.
How to plan an itinerary for these countries that can be visited with a U.S. visa on short notice?
