Thailand's new SIM rules mean a face scan and an in-person passport check. How travel eSIMs are treated, the new 30-day visa-free stay for Americans, and Saily, Nomad and esim4travel Thailand plans compared as of October 2026.

Vietnam travel eSIM guide: skip the passport SIM counter, get the 90-day US e-visa right, and see real Nomad pricing.

Iran is Level 4: Do Not Travel. Most travel-eSIM coverage is unverified; a local Irancell or MCI SIM reliably works instead.

Italy names the eSIM in its SIM law. What the 2025 decree really requires, and why the residence-permit myth is wrong.

Some Europe eSIM plans cover Albania, others do not: the 2024 SIM law, patchy city-only 5G, one-year US stay rule.

Buy your Bahrain travel eSIM before you fly — dodge the Saudi causeway roaming trap and the BHD price shock.

The UK needs no ID for a SIM, but the new ETA travel authorization is the real hurdle for U.S. visitors in 2026.

Sweden requires registered prepaid SIMs, so a local card is closed to visitors. Coverage is solved: 5G reaches 90% of the landmass. The constraint is your handset — from 2 February 2026, phones that cannot dial 112 get blocked.

Puerto Rico is domestic coverage on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, so most U.S. travelers need nothing. What actually bites is prepaid and MVNO fine print, a grid that fails on ordinary days, and three real dead zones.
