Travel to USA with not-registered-citizen infant born to US citizen father

11/21/2021 9:34:22 PM I’m no expert. The law referred to in the N-600K instructions is 8 USC 1433. Despite being called INA 322 for reasons I don’t understand, this USCIS web page links to it. The law states (b) Attainment of citizenship status; receipt of certificate Upon approval of the application (which may be filed […]

Is there a risk with flights stopping off in Russia?

9/23/2018 11:14:26 PM TL;DR: I wouldn’t worry about it, and would place this slightly below availability of complimentary hand moisturizer in economy class bathrooms on my list of priorities when choosing an airline. Airlines hate to divert planes anywhere, since it royally messes up their schedules and causes all sorts of knock-on effects. When they […]

Is the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine accepted for traveling in Schengen?

11/21/2021 2:51:54 PM Requirements vary depending on the country, how you are entering the country (air/land/sea), whether you hold an EU Digital COVID Certificate, which countries you have been physically present in during the past 14 days, and potentially other factors. Sinovac is accepted by some countries (generally by virtue of it being on the […]

Shower rooms at Incheon airport

9/22/2016 7:09:22 PM Yes, you can take the luggage inside. You can entrust it at the front desk, but I don’t recommend it. The price is entirely free, but if you want to get a massage the next to the shower room, you must pay for it (I don’t know about the price and the […]

When travelling internationally with valuable personal effects, how do I avoid paying duty at each border crossing?

12/6/2013 12:30:04 PM For professional equipment, there is an international procedure especially for this purpose, called an ATA carnet. My understanding is that you might have to provide a deposit equivalent to the duties that would be due if you failed to leave the destination country in time, which could be quite a sum of […]

If I am checked by ticket inspectors on the bus in Oslo with a ticket that expired over 1 hour ago, how to prove my ticket is actually valid?

5/25/2022 7:07:51 AM I have spent two summers as a ticket inspector in Oslo, so this is the "correct" answer for Oslo. In our (brief) training, we were taught that if someone claims they entered the bus with a valid ticket and this is possible according to the timetable then we should not fine them, […]

How to book Kaliningrad Ferries

6/6/2013 6:09:59 AM I really don’t recommend trip suggested by @Geeo. Cabin really exists, but they are not designed for tourism – much more for expeditors and workers on ship. And you have nothing to do on ship right until the end of your trip. Other thing is that you have to firstly go to […]

Living in other EU countries while being on a work visa

11/5/2021 12:08:58 PM Strictly speaking, you can’t even work from another EU country for 90 days out of 180, unless your contract says so. Those days are meant for personal travel only. You are unlikely to get caught or have actual problems right away while working remotely, but getting into trouble someday is indeed possible. […]

Alternative to trains in Japan

10/29/2017 9:40:02 AM A day after typhoon, with no bus and no train available at that day, we took taxi between Myiazu and Fukuchyama (somewhat about 50 km I think). The driver discussed something over his phone and, I think, re-planed the route around some closed road. If was most saving budget travel ever for […]

Cancelling only one passenger in a booking

10/27/2021 8:08:55 AM Unfortunately that’s tricky. Currently your reservation is a single unit with the a single PNR (Passenger Name Record). That’s for a good reason: if there are delays or rerouting, you still all want to stay together. However to do a change only for a single passenger the PNR needs to be split […]

Is it possible to buy a ticket where the luggage cannot be checked to the final destination?

5/17/2013 8:35:57 PM In the US, Southwest Airlines does not interline with anyone (except ATA on its codeshare flights), so it is impossible to check luggage through to or from a Southwest Airlines flight connecting to another carrier — one of many reasons I won’t fly on SWA. I believe EasyJet and Ryanair have similar […]

Name (or search terms etc) for enhanced travel insurance for locations with travel warnings

3/10/2015 2:07:32 PM On about the 5th attempt, I found some useful stuff with searches based on “travel insurance against foreign office advice”. This kind of insurance is sometimes called “high risk travel insurance” or “war and terrorism travel insurance“. Travel Insurance Center has a handy compare tool for high risk travel insurance that lists […]

Was I deported from Finland, and how should I answer the related question on a DS160 form?

10/25/2021 3:50:17 PM Your best bet is to send a Subject Access Request to the Finnish border authority, asking for a copy of your record. You are entitled to this information under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You should provide Your name on the passport, and date of birth Passport number, and your nationality […]

UK Visitor visa to visit my girlfriend refused under V4.2 (a) (c) & (e)

10/15/2021 3:47:53 PM Lets deal with question set 1 first. All of the statements in the refusal are aiming to tell you "You are welcome to apply again, but unless you fix the problems the next application will be rejected too." You can’t just repeat the application and hope for a different result. It’s standard […]

Oldest monument in Rome

5/5/2013 2:05:14 PM According to historvius.com, among the oldest structures you can visit are the Mamertine Prison, dating back to the 7th century BC, as well as the Temple of Vesta (wikipedia link) on the Forum, which dates from the same period.

Can I use a previously lost UK passport?

10/16/2021 12:35:14 AM No, you can’t if you already have a new passport, because then that passport wouldn’t be registered any more, so you probably have to file for a replacement.

Train from Zurich to Vienna – anything to look out for?

Train from Zurich to Vienna – anything to look out for?

4/10/2013 6:39:52 PM I suppose you travel on a daytime train (Railjet)? If yes, the whole trip is worthwhile. Just look out of the window. But note that it flattens out gradually (literally and figuratively). The leg from Zurich to Innsbruck is the most scenic one. Mark Smith, aka the Man in Seat 61, has […]

Would I delay flights, when not showing up for part of the journey?

4/10/2013 3:32:48 PM It depends on the specific circumstances. If you have checked luggage that has been loaded onto the plane, AND you’re on a flight that requires Positive Passenger Bag Matching (PPBM – more on that below) then there will be a delay whilst they first try and page you, and then resort to […]

Does Taiwan have thrift stores? How to find them?

9/26/2021 12:06:11 PM Individuals in any place always are different, but Japanese culture long has embraced collecting. When combined with the prolonged economic slump in the 1990s, this strengthened a willing market of sellers interested in liquidating goods that were no longer needed and buyers who wanted to save money, etc. In general, Taiwanese culture […]

How can I learn if I need to pay London's congestion fee?

How can I learn if I need to pay London's congestion fee?

8/5/2022 5:54:32 PM (Merged with previous question) You cannot check if you entered the zone, or owe the payment, even if you are a resident. If you know the exact route you took, you can check it on this map and many others. Driving along the peripheral roads does not constitute entering the zone. If […]
