Isn't it pretty normal for a lot of countries to require proof of prearranged room and board, in addition to departure flights, to utilize tourist visa?

EDIT: You lot downvote the most innocent shit. God forbid someone ask a question about typical international policy if it involves Americans.

Some do, some don't. The US however requires no such thing from EU citizens.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm by no means a globe trotter, but I believe the few countries I've traveled to had those stipulations in the fine print of their tourist visa requirements. Though I only recall the departure dates actually being actively verified by customs, and not the room/board part.
