United States is relatively guarded about who it admits, admitting 46 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #38 with 159 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way โ€” United States citizens enter San Marino more easily (visa-free).

In the opposite direction, United States citizens travelling to San Marino face: visa-free for up to 90 days.
