1 - World Century Club (WCC) membership is open to everyone. New applicants must meet the following requirements: 

​

• At least 20 countries visited 

• Sponsorship from 3 current members 

• Submit application to worldcenturyclub@gmail.com 

 

2 - Travelers receive credit for each country visited. All travelers automatically receive credit for the country of their birth and current residency.

 

3 - A visit is defined as staying in the country a minimum of 4 hours, outside of the main port of entry (e.g., airport, train station, marine terminal, etc.). This rule may be waived in special circumstances (e.g., due to country size).

 

4 - A valid country is one that is recognized by the CIA and other reliable sources. Territories visited will be displayed but do not count toward country count. However, a traveler receives credit for a territory if the member does not have credit for the parent sovereign nation. For example, if a traveler visits Anguilla, and has not been to the UK, then the traveler receives credit for the UK (or Anguilla) which ever the traveler chooses.

 

5 - Travelers maintain up to 3 accounts: (i) Countries, (ii) Territories, (iii) Airlines Flown (optional).
