Some comments:

Tintin did not go to Japan in "The Blue Lotus"...

"The Secret of the Unicorn" took place in England, as seen with that envelope, as well as in Tintin's home country.

"The Crab w/ the Golden Claws" took place in Tintin's home country and in Morocco (French colony at that time...publication was before 1956)

"Calculus Affair" also takes place in Borduria.

Tintin also visited Arabia in "Cigars of the Pharaoh". The place might have been Khemed because in "The Red Sea Sharks", the Emir flees to a sheik who shares the same name as the one who kidnaps and then frees Tintin in "Cigars"...

"Destination Moon": Syldavia

"King Ottokar's Sceptre": Tintin spent three days in Borduria.

"The Red Sea Sharks": Tintin visits Khemed/Arabia.

Never read "Tintin in the Congo", so I can't really comment on that one.

The broken ear is definitly South America

Blue Lotus - Isn't he in China in that album, and besides, isn't he on japanese territory in that adventure. I know he's never on todays Japan island but the situation were quite different then.

In "The Blue Lotus", he was definitely in China, part of which was occupied by foreign forces. In that story alone, he went through Japanese parts, European and American parts (the International Settlement), and into actual Chinese territory (why Mitsuhirato had to fake a warrant to stop Tintin, who was in Hukow and therefore out of Japanese and International forces' reach).

well at the end of flight 714 the destination was australia so i guess we can rule that out of the unvisited countries. I also belive that he visited new zealand but i am not sure which album it was located.

Apart from Belgium:
Soviets - Germany, U.S.S.R.
Congo - Belgian Congo (modern-day Federal Republic of Congo, formally Zaïre)
America - U.S.A.
Cigars - Egypt, Khemed? (fictional) (and/or) Saudi Arabia?, India
Blue Lotus - China, Japan (Japanese-occupied China)
Ear - San Theodoros (fictional), Novo (Nuevo) Rico worth mentioning although he didn't go there?
Black Island - France?, U.K.
Sceptre - Syldavia, Borduria (both fictional)
Crab - Morocco (then French Morocco?)
Shooting Star - Iceland (as well as seas around this area), São Rico is also worth mentioning although he didn't visit (fictional)
Unicorn -
Red Rackham - somewhere around the Carribean (sp.?), Atlantic Ocean
Crystal Balls - France?
Prisoners of the Sun - Peru
Black Gold - Khemed, Saudi Arabia?
Destination Moon - Syldavia
Explorers - the Moon!, Syldavia
Calculus Affair - France, Switzerland, Borduria, Syldavia?
Sharks - Khemed, where else?, Red Sea
Tibet - Tibet (technically part of China), India, Nepal, France?, Switzerland? (at the beginning)
Emerald - ?
Flight 714 - Indonesia?, Sondonesia? (fictional - and maybe not proper country even in Tintinverse)
Picaros - San Theodoros
Alph-Art - Greece?

In "The Broken Ear", Tintin did visit "Sanfacion", "Nuevo Rico", where he boarded a ship to Europe.

For "Flight 714", there are no countries between Indonesia (Jakarta was the departure point) and Australia. The story probably takes place in some really small, if not outright fictitious, Indonesian island.

It appears Alph-Art took place in Tintin's home country and in Italy (To be precise: Ischia). If I recall correctly, at the beginning of the book, well before the unfinished point when Tintin is kidnapped and where many people parted ways (some show Tintin living, others killing the character, possibly to lament Herge's premature death...one such version did so with a cameo image of Herge with his birth and death years clearly indicated), Tintin and the Captain went there to solve the mystery near the villa of the villain. But the version is not the official version, so I will not reveal the source. Still, Herge went through this area, so I think my guess is OK.

"The Secret of the Unicorn" took place in England, as seen with that envelope, as well as in Tintin's home country.

I guess you are refering to the Moulinsart part, which is only set in England in the english editions. In the francophone/original editions Moulinsart is in Belgium or in my opinion France.

In the original version of Land of the black gold Speedol Star anchors at Haifa in Israel.

In Seven Crystal balls they go to Le Havre in France at the end.

In King Ottokar's sceptre Tintin and the professor first lands in Frankfurt in Germany and then changes plane in Prag in Czechoslovakia (nowdays Czech Republic) and Nestor Halambique mentions Venice (Italy) though they doesn't visit Italy.

In Red sea sharks the customs in Khemed won't let Tintin and Haddock in and say that the have to return to Beirut (Lebanon), so we can assume that they took the plane from there.

In Broken ear Tintin is captured just next to the Nuevo Rico border by Nuevo Rican troops that would drive him to the capital San Facion so he must be in Nuevo Rico when he jumps in the river. My guess is that the river runs both thru Nuevo Rico and San Theodoros and that he winds up back in San Theodoros for the encounter with the Arumbayas before he goes to San Facion and the ship to Europe.

In Black island when going to the ferry going to Dover (England) it doesn't state which port he is going to but it should be Zeebrugge (Belgium), Dunkerque (France) or most likely Calais (also France).

In Land of the Soviets after fleeing from Berlin (Germany) Tintin and Milou ride on the front of train all the way from Germany to the town of Stolbcy (Stolbtsy) in White Russia (Belarus) and they should have crossed Poland to get there. (By the way, what an odd thing to have german police planes dropping bombs.)
