No, Citizens of the UK are not required to own a visa before they can travel to any of the Schengen Regions. The British province has recently been included among the visa-exempt third countries whose citizens are not mandated to have visas for travel.

US citizens are also exempted from obtaining a Schengen Visa before they can enter any Schengen state. The only requirement is that they must have a legal US passport. Like other eligible citizens from other countries, they cannot stay for more than 90 days, and they are restricted to tour and or perform business.

The case is different for citizens from other countries who stay in the US. Their need for a visa is dependent on their country of origin. For instance, citizens of EU-visa-free countries who stay in the US will not need a Schengen Visa to tour the Schengen region. However, citizens from non-visa-free countries will need to apply for a Schengen Visa.U
