No visa needed makes me temped to visit it

I guess they are a lot better then passports. I scare people with my photos, but if there were a way to not have a visa or a passport, all you needed was to show your i.d. with a photo, then it would be easier to travel outside the country. And I would rather love to travel on a cruise line. And certainly spend more then 2 days in a country - especially if I have relatives there.

Today citizens from my country are able to visit many countries without a visa, and I am very happy about that because it makes travelling cheaper and less complicated Today we can visit almost any European country without a visa. We still need a visa for Belarus, but it has become very easy to visit most of the other European countries. Several years ago I started thinking about a trip to Asia and at that time I needed a visa for every Asian country except Thailand. Today I can visit many Asian countries without a visa or get a visa in the airport when I arrive. China, Mongolia, Russia, Myanmar, India and Nepal still require visas. I am very interested in visiting India, but it is not possible to visit India without a visa and it is not possible to get a visa when I arrive. Most of the African countries still require visas. I know that I am able to visit Morocco, Tunisia, the Gambia, Senegal, Botswana and Namibia without a visa. I would choose to visit one of the those countries first because it is less complicated to visit those countries.

I think visas will always be necessary, they may be replaced I suspect in time, but I can't see them ever taking them away completely. I have never needed a visa for the countries that I have visited in the past, but like you if I did, London is virtually on my doorstep, so it wouldn't be a problem.

That's nice to have a travel without getting a visa. In fact the most problem for us to have a travel abroad is getting the visa. In fact it is already lucky for me since I live in a big city. But I still have to spend time and money for it. As to other people who live in other cities or towns, they may even spend days to applying for a visa.

I think visa requirements are base on what organization region your country is located in the world. For example, My country Philippines, belong to the SouthEast Asian region. So all countries that belong to the Southeast Asian Organizations such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. We don't need to have a Visa to go to these countries. But I think there are also countries that does not really required VISA especially if these country needs tourism to bloom.

good day to you maximax8, well, i do loved to travel as well. but, if the country i will be going into will have a visa requirement, then, perhaps, i would need to apply the visa first. but of course, it will be more convenient if the country you will be going to doesn't have any visa requirement, isn't it.

The requirement of a visa seems quite irrelevant to me. I have been on holiday where a visa was required and also to many places that do not require one, although I found the difference to be negligible. When I visited Russia I required a 3 page visa, which contained 2 passport sized photographs. There were obvious restrictions because the visa specified my itinerary for the duration of my visit, stating which city or town I would be in on each day. This meant that I had to stick to the pre-planned route of Moscow, Bratsk, Irkutsk and Moscow and travel on the specified days. However, this did not affect the value of the trip since I had no intention of travelling anywhere different.

Hi maximax! I have only traveled abroad once, to Singapore and they didn't require any visas. But I heard that it is such a bother to go to countries that require visas. I'm constantly planning to go to another abroad trip and now, one of the things that I consider is that if that country requires a visa or not. If they require it, I cross that country off my list. :p

Hi Maxine, to me also collecting visa is a very annoying matter. Except Nepal we need visa to travel any country. You are not a citizen of Finland. Then how would you visit Russia from Finland by ship without visa ?

A very necessary precaution in today's world. We just need to know who is visiting our country. |This has always been the case mostly and I think will continue as every country seeks out possible terrorists The US once denied me a Visa - I never forgave them
