More details to this question:
With my current citizenship I need a visa to travel to Europe but I have a U.S. green card. Do I still need a visa?
5 ANSWERS
Yes, a green card is for your status in the US and for reentry to the US. You still are a citizen of whatever country you are a citizen of and if you require a visa to visit a country, as a citizen of that country, then you need to get a visa in your passport. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

You still need a visa because you are not a citizen of the U.S. and do not have a U.S. passport. You must follow the rules pertaining to visas issued to your home country.

The necessity of having a visa to travel abroad will depend on the requirements of individual countries. You should check the requirements before traveling.

Each country has its own rules as to who they let in without a visa and under what circumstances. You need to check with a consulate of a country you are going to as to the rules.
