If travelling to Canada and Europe, which visa should I apply for first?

4/10/2017 5:13:55 AM Applying for a visa to a Schengen area country in Europe or for a Canadian visa are two independent procedures, so you can choose to apply for the visas separately or simultaneously. However, since you mentioned that you want to spend three months in Europe before you travel to Canada, it might […]

Solo-Driving from Florida to New York During the Winter

Solo-Driving from Florida to New York During the Winter

9/23/2018 8:38:26 AM I actually make almost that same exact trip several times a year. Some of the other answers here are just downright dangerous. I can not stress enough that Winter conditions are no joke and could cost you your safety and your life We are very spoiled, at times when it comes to […]

How can I stay more than 90/180 days in Schengen using Australia's bilateral agreements with Spain and Austria?

9/11/2018 5:10:23 PM For days to count under a bilateral agreement but not the 90/180 rule, you must have exhausted your 90/180 rule days but not your bilateral agreement days. So you would have to finish your stay in Spain or Austria and leave the Schengen area directly from one of those countries. Spending your […]

Do I need a visa to visit the UK with my EU partner?

5/12/2017 7:27:48 PM This answer assumes that you are not a citizen of any country whose nationals are allowed to travel to the UK without a visa. If you are a citizen of such a country, then you of course don’t need a visa, but in that case you probably wouldn’t have asked this question. […]

Bikes on TGV/THALYS

Bikes on TGV/THALYS

7/13/2023 4:31:20 AM [came here researching Thalys policy] Bagging is essential. Size isn’t much of a problem if we are talking about regular bikes (i.e. tandems will be problematic). We travel with Rinko bags (packed size is smaller than a water bottle) for this purpose. Used on TGV/Thalys/Shinkansen. Size was never an issue. Can I […]

Can I enter Serbia if I am travelling with a wound?

8/20/2018 2:50:45 PM There are two potential problems: with the airlines and with immigration. With regard to the airlines, if the captain of a flight feels you are not healthy to fly, they may unilaterally ask you to be removed from the flight. Pilots are in general not medical experts. I can only imagine that […]

Would a bad credit score affect your eligibility for US ESTA?

3/26/2017 9:30:59 AM What would happen if I fail to pay? Chances are that they will process you for court, obtain a judgment against you, and try to collect by means such as garnishment of wages if you do have employment in the USA. Of course it will hit your credit at some point (if […]

Can I go out of the airport during a connecting intra-Schengen flight when I have a single-entry visa?

8/14/2018 7:32:08 AM Exit checks will be done in Amsterdam. Your Madrid-Amsterdam flight will be a domestic flight and you will not pass through immigration. You don’t need a transit visa for that flight. Are US citizens obligated to disclose foreign citizenships to US border patrol upon entry? 8/13/2018 2:05:03 PM If you have a […]

Are US citizens obligated to disclose foreign citizenships to US border patrol upon entry?

9/10/2020 6:49:31 AM This question appears to be about Customs and Border Protection immigration inspectors rather than Border Patrol officers. (Border Patrol is a distinct agency, although it is subordinate to CBP in the government’s organizational chart.) Are US citizens obligated to disclose foreign citizenships to US border patrol upon entry? No. I know that […]

Can the border guard match up the passports of a dual citizen?

3/17/2017 9:13:53 PM From personal experience, yes. I’m an EU citizen who acquired Australian citizenship. I visited the US several times on my previous EU passport, then got a new ESTA (which IIRC did not ask about other nationalities, only other names) for the Australian passport and visited again. First visit on the new passport, […]

Does Newark (EWR) have a hotel actually in the airport?

Does Newark (EWR) have a hotel actually in the airport?

8/1/2018 2:09:40 PM There’s the Newark Marriott, which while not inside the airport is about as close as you can get. It’s on the other side of the parking areas from the terminal as shown in the Google Maps image below. The $195 tag marks the hotel location across the parking lot from Terminal B. […]

What documents are required for child to enter the UK?

3/18/2017 6:42:07 AM Background Babies who are born in the UK but do not have a claim on British citizenship get a special status called “tolerated”. It means they do not necessarily need a British visa because the government recognises that there are circumstantial practicalities surrounding newborn babies where immigration rules are concerned. If the […]

USA visa with prior trip to Iran in previous passport: can I get away with omitting any mention of the Iran trip?

8/22/2017 12:20:04 PM If you simply want to visit the US once, then that’s your call and your risk. I’m not going to advise you to take that risk. But be aware if you might ever apply for a H-visa/F-visa/naturalization, the H-visa application form (post-2004) requires you to list all countries you have visited in […]

How do I prove that I am a US citizen INSIDE the US without a passport?

7/12/2018 10:51:53 PM If you don’t want to carry a passport book, then you can carry a passport card in your wallet. According to Passport Card from the Department of State: The passport book and passport card are both U.S. passports. If issued for the full validity, they are both proof of your U.S. citizenship […]

When we travel to Zone 4 in London with an Oyster card purchased for Zone 1 and Zone 3, how are the fares calculated?

When we travel to Zone 4 in London with an Oyster card purchased for Zone 1 and Zone 3, how are the fares calculated?

7/9/2018 4:55:07 PM You have to pay for all of the zones that your travelcard does not cover, but only for the zones that are not covered. So if you travel from Z3 to Z4, then you have to pay for the cost of the Z4 trip only. You also don’t need to pay twice […]

Do I need to be under 26 at the time of booking or time of departure for SAS youth tickets?

3/14/2017 9:52:12 AM You need to be under 26 at the time of departure. Source: Tweet by official SAS twitter account. (Also @LassiUosukainen pointed out in a comment: If you enter the correct birth date the system does not let you continue if you are too old.) Where to get cheap drinking water in Cambodia? […]

Where to get cheap drinking water in Cambodia?

Where to get cheap drinking water in Cambodia?

3/14/2017 2:46:43 PM First up, this is only really suitable for long stays (at least 2+ weeks). If big 20 litre “water cooler” style water bottles are available for sale somewhere, chances are there’s some kind of refill service available. I’ve found an article by UNICEF that talks about one such company it has helped […]

What are the EU laws on unused plane ticket and airport tax refund?

3/29/2020 9:50:27 AM Conditions for refund or change of flight dates due to the flight cancellation through a pandemic: https://youtu.be/eV11yGNpe0M and The European Commission has obliged airlines to refund for the tickets on canceled flights! https://youtu.be/XW7uceS_H3U Can the police in Northern Cyprus take my passport away from me, an American citizen? 8/6/2018 3:51:53 AM There […]

Can the police in Northern Cyprus take my passport away from me, an American citizen?

5/13/2018 4:23:16 PM The police can take action to prevent you from fleeing if you are suspected of a crime. With Cyprus being an island, taking your passport away is a simple way to keep anyone but the most determined criminal from leaving, without inconveniencing you too much. You will get your passport back, either […]

Looking for flight data from a specific United Airlines flight 25 years ago

3/13/2017 7:09:13 PM Honolulu International Airport is owned and operated by the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, and its website has detailed historical information throughout the decades, from 1925 to the present, including a notation of an airport closure due to a hurricane. It suggests comprehensive research and record keeping, and I would recommend […]
