I am a Ukrainian citizen and a US permanent resident. I know that
there are some countries that do not require visas for US permanent
residents (such as Mexico and Canada), others do not
require visas for Ukrainian citizens (such as Peru and most former
Soviet Union republics), others do not require a visa at all (few but
some). So, I am looking for a complete list of countries that I can
enter without a visa (or painlessly acquire a visa at the border).
Thank you very much.
