Consequently, there are agreements in place between certain countries that are designed to allow citizens of those countries to travel without going to all of the time and effort of a visa application. This is not a universal process and each country will have its own list of visa-free destinations.

Where a visa-free travel agreement is in place, you will normally only need your passport to pass through immigration but there are some places that require proof of onward travel, in the form of a return ticket or funds to purchase one. Furthermore, some levy a local tax on arrival, that you must pay to get into the country. These are often small amounts but cannot be avoided.
