Question

My Schengen visa got revoked mid-trip, what should I do?

9/13/2022 10:36:28 AM I tried that, but had no luck. Slovenian embassy was pretty adamant. My original hotel in Slovenia reported them when I cancelled my booking. Anyway, I exited Switzerland without any issue. They didn’t even mention anything on the exit. I’m not sure what the repercussions would be now, if I apply for […]

Is the London Pass worth the price?

11/13/2012 8:12:53 AM I guess it depends on what you want to see in London, and make sure that your attractions are included. If you just want to do the usual highlights then I would say that it doesn’t make sense to buy these passes, especially that some of the attractions listed in top 10 […]

I made a mistake on my ESTA, am I screwed?

5/2/2022 4:15:39 PM You are definitely not "screwed"! There’s 2 issues that you’re going to have to address as a part of the visa interview. The fact you’ve visited Iraq and Iran since 2011. This fact IS an immediate cause for denial of an ESTA, but it is NOT in itself a reason for cause […]

Do I need to get a transit visa for a layover at a Canadian airport?

11/18/2014 9:40:17 AM I guess so, since Philippines isn’t visa exempt. http://gocanada.about.com/od/canadatravelplanner/qt/transit_visa_canada.htm http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091024173618AALX0ta What statue did Bolivia give, and where is it located? 11/6/2012 4:27:15 PM You need a Canadian visa (unless you have a US visa and you travel to/from the USA). I assume you are a resident of Philippines. Here are relevant references: […]

What is the meaning of these blue crosses (x-like) in eastern Brandenburg?

4/24/2022 12:54:34 PM They are probably to signal political agreement with some causes. For example, blue crosses are/were used to protest for free public access to waterbanks without private fences in eastern Brandenburg (which is probably what you’ve seen) and against the building of the Fehmarnbelttunnel in northern Germany. Can Bulgarian citizen travel to Ireland […]

Can Bulgarian citizen travel to Ireland with only their national ID card?

11/23/2021 5:48:23 PM TL:DR TL:DR What doesnt change- passport is always accepted. TL:DR From 1 October 2021, EU nationals will have to show a valid passport when entering Northern Ireland. Always check what form of ID is required by your individual airline, ferry company or travel agent before traveling. So even if before was possible […]

What statue did Bolivia give, and where is it located?

What statue did Bolivia give, and where is it located?

11/6/2012 2:38:01 AM The one he is probably referring to was actually presented by Venezuela – The Equestrian Monument of Simon Bolivar, liberator of Bolivia, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela from Spanish rule. This statue is at the entrance to Central Park at the north end of Sixth Avenue – The Avenue Of The […]

Is there some sort of "on-arrival visa interview" necessary for first-time US visitors utilising ESTA?

10/7/2021 10:05:35 AM Apparently the experience can vary greatly, depending on airport and possibly from were you are from. I suppose the passport scan (if you are a potential risk-category passenger) triggers a flag to the officer that causes him/her to ask more questions. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the immigration officers have a […]

What techniques exist for increasing the chances of getting to a destination during widespread disruption?

11/4/2012 5:40:13 PM The first thing to decide is if you actually need to travel? With a lot of disruptions and cancellations, there’s a lot of demand for the limited transport there is. You might be better off checking with your airline / travel insurance about covering hotels, finding a hotel before they all go, […]

Do you only have to pay the reciprocity fee once per passport?

11/1/2012 2:45:08 PM A good question, and yes, you are correct. A few things to understand: The Entry Reciprocity Fee is ONLY charged at SCL. It applies (differently) to citizens of Albania, Australia, Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Other citizens don’t have to pay. (Yay for the Kiwi passport!) The receipt for payment of […]

Are United Airlines employees authorized to ask TSA screening questions?

10/28/2021 8:13:13 AM What has happened to you is something more and more frequent, even more so since the pandemic began and the US entry restrictions. From what I’ve been able to read, in many cases the airline is obliged to confirm that it has the required documents to enter the United States (TSA precheck […]

9/2/2021 7:24:40 AM There are two things to consider: The regular (pre-COVID) rules for entry into the US still apply. To enter the US (actually to even be allowed to board), you need to either: be a US citizen be a US permanent resident (green card holder) have a valid US visa or have a […]

Is it possible to cross Luxembourg north to south hiking?

8/12/2021 9:27:21 AM Just opening mapy.cz (which just uses the Openstreetmap data in that area, but in a graphical way I really like) shows a very dense network if hiking trails in Luxembourg. Some go along roads, some not. Sometimes you have a choice between a pilgrimage route that mostly uses roads (like Jakobsweg that […]

Is there still tubing going on in Vang Vieng, Laos?

10/31/2012 4:31:41 AM CNNGo has a piece on this as well, explaining about how it was done. It sounds like there was a major expose and resulting crackdown. Wikitravel’s page on Vang Vieng also states that there’s been a massive shutdown. However, the Sydney Morning Herald reports these attempts have had ‘mixed success’: But two […]

4/5/2021 2:35:45 PM If I wait until 5 days before my flight how likely is it that I will be able to get both an appointment and receive my emergency passport in those 5 days? Very likely. The embassy wouldn’t be imposing this restriction if it meant that substantial numbers of citizens were unable to […]

5/8/2017 1:28:12 PM Ideally, you should find a fare from an airline which allows free stopovers. The best way to do it is to check the fare rules with ITA Matrix or call the airline or actually test online if the price stays the same when you construct a multi-city trip. When checking the fare […]

Does having no exit record from the UK on my passport risk my visa application for re entering?

1/8/2021 3:57:28 PM Do you think having no exit record from the UK on my passport will risk my visa application for re entering? No. The UK does not place exit records in passports. Nobody has such a record, and not having such a record couldn’t possibly have a negative impact on your visa application. […]

Is it possible or recommended to exchange US currency for Chinese currency outside China?

10/9/2012 6:18:45 PM China has lifted most of the restrictions on trade in Chinese currency, so it has been possible to (legally) obtain renminbi outside China for a few years. When entering and leaving China, you are allowed to bring 20,000 CNY in local currency (appr. 3,200 USD) and 5,000 USD or equivalent in foreign […]

Is the bullet train in China typically cheaper than taking a domestic flight?

6/12/2021 9:15:55 PM I mean, yes, the sources you cited are generally right. I’m speaking from experience here, so I don’t have data, but I believe my experience to be generally reliable. For long distances, there are a lot (I mean a LOT) of discounts on flights, but hardly any for the railways. I picked […]
