OK is this right and also I am unsure of the cases.

if the traveller refuses to show his letters they may refuse him entry into the country. Right?

I am unsure on why страна is страны and not страну.

посещение страны (Genitive) человеком (Instrumental) = visit of the person to a country. That is the way we speak.

JamarriJa, "check questions" can help native Russian schoolchildren to identify grammatical cases by their names but can't help a foreigner, who can't use cases intuitively, to select the correct case.
