I am going to Vegas with friends. I have my PR card and my travel document which looks like a passport. Do I need a visa to travel by airplane? I've already gone by car to Detroit with no problems.

If you are from a visa exempt country to visit the US, then no. If no, then yes. PR status does not alter your passport or the visa requirements.

What if I don't have a country of origin? I came as a refugee. But because I went to the states by car is that the same as by plane?

I know what I need to travel outside. I want to know if I need a visa for the us. I assume by car and by plane are the same. Or is it?

yes it's the same for visa purposes. if you've been aloud into the US without a visa before, then that means you are visa exempt from the us. whether or not you require a visa to enter the US is dependant on where you are from.

Well, it is also "incompetent" and "consulate" or "it's"
