Plus 2 of the US visa (B1/B2 etc.) unlock destinations are open to your passport even without it — both lists below.
Why do countries do this? If a US consulate has already vetted you, that vetting is accepted as good enough — Mexico, Georgia, Saudi Arabia and others wrote it into their entry law.
Unlocked for Malagasy citizens by a US visa (B1/B2 etc.)
Open to a Malagasy passport anyway
These US visa (B1/B2 etc.)-unlock countries already admit Malagasy citizens without it:
The fine print that actually matters
The visa must be unexpired; Chile and Peru want 6+ months of remaining validity, the UAE wants 6 months on a visa or Green Card.
Albania, Panama, Saudi Arabia and Egypt require at least one entry stamp from the issuing country — a fresh, never-used visa fails this test.
Colombia excludes C1 transit visas; Argentina matches the visa category to your trip purpose; Türkiye's rule needs an ordinary sticker visa — an e-visa or ESTA does not qualify.
Entry requirements change — each rule on the US visa (B1/B2 etc.) unlocks page cites its official source with a "last verified" date. Re-check before booking.
