How it's used
Commonly used in travel contexts to describe the convenience of entering a country without prior paperwork. It functions as a verb phrase or a descriptive state, often appearing in news reports or casual discussions about holiday planning.
Examples

Common phrases
visa-free treatment
strive for visa-free access
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a permanent right of abode. Being visa-free only grants temporary entry for tourism or short business trips, not the right to work or live indefinitely.
