Can I ever get a Schengen visa again after submitting a fake I-20?

11/22/2015 5:19:34 PM The annulment should have been recorded and shared between Schengen countries (there is a database especially for that). This will weight negatively against any Schengen visa application you might submit in the (near?) future. On the other hand, as far as I can tell, you haven’t received a formal ban so any […]

Where can I find DB regional ticket maps (Streckenkarte)?

2/27/2018 10:27:58 AM You can find these maps for all German “Länder” on this DB site. The one for Berlin-Brandenburg is found here. You may be used to the other look of the maps (like the BW one you link to), but apparently this is the new look for Berlin/Brandenburg at least. You can find […]

Why is Diet Coke more expensive than regular Coca-Cola and other soft drinks in Indonesia?

8/4/2014 7:07:54 PM There’s no hard evidence in this thread on ThaiVisa.com, but it’s clear something happened in 2008 (during which time Coke Light was nearly unavailable) that led to this differential. Speculation includes an attempt to drive purchases of Coke Zero, a production shortage, or simply a desire to raise prices. What does "Baggage: […]

Flight cancellation luggage

12/19/2016 1:39:05 AM I wouldn’t worry about lack of space for your checked bags. It is possible that they will try to make you pay, at which point you can explain the situation and request that they waive the charges. If they refuse, you can pay and take the issue up with American’s customer service […]

Are the model trains underneath Gare de l'Est in Paris open to the public?

6/22/2020 7:08:15 PM I think all train lovers will be welcome to this place, even if it is not very widely advertised.

8/22/2017 5:10:37 PM In theory, it should not make matters more difficult.

Can I bring an empty eggshell into Australia?

12/13/2016 11:34:29 AM BICON is the official database for import conditions. You should be able to search it to get exactly what you need.

Conditions of Administration Documents […]

Bangkok for New Years Eve 2016/2017: Cheaper because of mourning? Less celebration because of mourning?

12/7/2016 9:02:14 AM First of all Thailand is still in mourning and will be so for a full year, at the end of which the late King Bhumibol will be cremated. After the cremation, the formal coronation of King Vajiralongkorn will take place. For the first thirty days after the passing of the late King […]

Buying reindeer meat in Helsinki

12/2/2021 3:58:36 AM You can buy reindeer meat (poronliha) in any supermarket. The "Herkku" gourmet supermarket in the basement of the Stockmann department store (corner of Mannerheimintie and Aleksanterinkatu) is pretty epic has been completely nerfed and can’t be recommended in good conscience anymore. The Old Market Hall (Vanha kauppahalli) is your best bet in […]

Last name put as surname on UK visa. Would this cause issues at the border?

12/6/2016 12:22:50 PM In the Western world, specifically Germanic and Slavic speaking countries (explicitly excluding Iceland), there is a strong assumption that people have a given name, potential (or mandatory, e.g. patronymic names in Russia) middle names and a surname, with the surname being the same or at least strongly similar within families while given […]

What are the disadvantages of joining United's MileagePlus program?

12/5/2016 8:17:13 PM If you fly United a lot, and you do sign up for a United credit card, you usually can get 30K miles as a bonus if you spend $1000 in the first 3 months. I know you said you wouldn’t plan to use the card but it might be worth it to […]

12/3/2016 6:28:31 PM You are welcome to continue using the visa until its expiration date, but remember that you will be checked at the border by a CBP officer, who will make the final determination as to whether you are admissible to the US. That said… In general, crimes that will make you inadmissible to […]

How to log the places you visited as detailed as possible?

6/16/2014 1:13:58 AM I enjoyed using @jpatokal’s tool OpenFlights. For me it’s difficult to spend so much time putting in flights such as in TripIt which IMO takes a decent amount of time to chart out things. OpenFlights is easy and simple to use without any hassles. Best part is it lets me choose itineraries […]

Can Mosques in the UAE be Visited by Non-Muslims?

12/2/2016 6:02:57 PM According to the Dubai authorities, the Jumeirah Mosque is “the only mosque in Dubai which is open to the public and dedicated to receiving non-Muslim guests.” (At least insofar as going inside is concerned, I can’t speak to the grounds, and you can certainly see mosques from the outside around the city.)

Entering the US with US citizenship pending

6/11/2014 12:49:53 PM I think I may know the answer to my question. I called the US citizen and immigration office today (London office) and spoke to a very helpful man.
