Question

right-of-way – merging vs. oncoming traffic in Pennsylvania

3/8/2018 10:05:01 PM By the time the other person was turning, you were fully on the road – and he had to cross a solid line to turn in front of you. To me, you clearly had the right of way and were in the right. My signature in my passport looks different than it […]

Can I use an expired passport to go home to get my passport renewed?

12/7/2014 4:47:36 AM You cannot travel with an expired passport. Once a passport expires, it is no longer a valid travel document (even if it contains a valid visa). As there is no Ghanaian foreign mission in Kuwait, you need to contact the Ghanaian Embassy in Saudi Arabia to renew your passport. Once you have […]

My signature in my passport looks different than it actually is – consequences?

6/15/2017 9:16:53 AM When I was getting a replacement passport for my damaged one, I had to show my regular ID and sign some papers and my signature there was extremely different because it’s changed drastically in the last 9 years.

2/9/2021 10:34:45 PM If you want something more interactive done in javascript, the d3js library has some lovely "choropleth" examples Sorry this is another coding answer though, so you’ll have to adapt it to your needs as well as persuading the whole thing to run within whatever blogging system you use. Here I’ve adapted this […]

Should I turn down the high beam in "deer areas"?

6/14/2017 11:30:12 AM In my country, driver schooling focuses on principles of moderate speed, correct safe distance, and maximum visibility. So here is my contribute answer. If lowering beams hides the animal to your own eyes, keep high beams for a few more meters Once you are able to track the animal, lower your beams […]

Souvenir shops at Heydar Aliyev (Baku) airport?

12/7/2014 3:19:50 AM The airport had a huge renovation in 2013, so things are a bit hectic there. I believe you’re flying with AZAL (Azerbaijan Airlines), so you should be in the new fancy terminal. I was there this summer, and there was a shop after passport control (and hence in the transit area, in […]

Travel to Australia buy or rent surfboard

11/30/2014 5:02:56 PM My partner I travelled ‘around the block’ from March to September and rented boards in various places along the east coast. Prices vary a little, but count on paying at least $20 AUD for a day (or sometimes just a half day). To put that into perspective with buying a board: in […]

What is the best passport for traveling?

What is the best passport for traveling?

12/10/2014 12:50:48 AM It depends a little on how you measure this, but if you’re going on the passport that needs the fewest visas to travel, it’s entirely possible to argue that the British Passport ties with the US passport in being able to travel freely to 168 countries or territories. However, another list claims […]

Traveling to UK with acquitted criminal charges

6/9/2017 6:52:00 AM The controlling technical reference for this question is Part 9 of the Immigration Rules, entitled Immigration Rules part 9: grounds for refusal, and specifically Paragraph 320 sub paragraph 2, which states (in part)… (2) the fact that the person seeking entry to the United Kingdom: (a) is currently the subject of a […]

Would uncooked bacon go bad in a transatlantic flight?

11/27/2014 12:11:15 PM I doubt it will go bad. However, there might be other issues: Most countries have import restrictions for food due to diseases. Technically, Turkey does not allow the import of meat, although I understand that they’re quite flexible with that. As a predominantly Muslim country, Bacon might raise some eyebrows in Turkey. […]

Can an Australian obtain a visa to enter Pakistan by land border while already overseas?

3/3/2015 11:28:45 AM Unfortunately you cannot. In order to obtain a visa to Pakistan from a country to which you do not hold citizenship, you need to have a permanent resident status; in other words – if you are in China, Vietnam or Cambodia on a visitor/tourist visa – you cannot apply for a visa […]

Indian Passport not stamped, arriving from Canada via Amtrak

5/29/2017 8:16:03 PM What the officers did (not checking and registering everyone) was illegal, and unfortunately it’s always the traveller that gets to pay for it. You must go tomorrow morning to the deferred inspections site located at Philadelphia Airport, terminal A West, open Monday-Friday 09:00-12:00, and present your visa in the passport, I-20 form, […]

Connecting flight through Dubai with an Israeli/Jewish name

11/25/2014 11:33:29 PM You’re not going to get any references to back this up, because no official source in the UAE is ever going to say “We love Jews! Please transit!” or “We hate Jewish-sounding people, regardless of their actual religion or their passports!”. That said, despite public huffing and puffing, the UAE’s morals are […]

What are the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) limits for free EU roaming after June 15th 2017?

6/7/2017 8:56:05 AM Well, as much as I’d suggest to not blindly trust EU websites (been there, done that) you can find all answers you seek on this FAQ on Roam like at home regulation: it’s the more recent I can find, and it’s straight from the EU itself. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/faq/frequently-asked-questions-roam-home Now, link only answers are […]

How to reach Goa from Delhi without any money

12/5/2016 9:18:41 PM I have hitch-hiked from Mumbai to Pathankot, so from my experience – Train travel is easier. You might try your luck without a ticket in a general compartment if you really have no money. But a Goa – NDLS general ticket would cost just around Rs 460. Hitch-hiking is absolutely possible in […]

Does voluntary departure from the UK count as deportation?

4/25/2017 3:01:53 AM It is well established that a Voluntary Return is not the same as a Deportation and even not the same as a Removal. The answer provided by Gayot Fow on Difference between deportation and removal provides a good distinction. Further evidence of this distinction is they have different penalties. Immigration offender: RFL05, […]

Can I walk from Las Vegas McCarran Airport to UNLV?

Can I walk from Las Vegas McCarran Airport to UNLV?

7/14/2018 4:44:04 PM Judging by Google maps (and street view) it looks feasible during the day, though there appear to be no sidewalks in the section between the terminal building and Paradise road. You would not be the first, if you see this view. That said, it does not look like a very pleasant walk […]

Polish-Born Canadian entering Poland

9/27/2019 2:09:08 PM I have travelled to Poland through Germany and noone batted an eyelash even or asked anything. I was born there and my CAN passport clearly states my place of birth. 🙂 I don’t go directly however because I know that I will have issues as I do not own a PL passport. […]
