The problems are not likely to come from the immigration authorities in Thailand, but from the airline, which may refuse to carry you if your visa arrangements do not meet the letter of the law. There have been a number of reports on here of people who were not allowed to board, mainly by the likes of BA, US airlines and an Australian carrier. The reason for this, is that the airline has to pay a fine and transport you back for free if you're denied entry.
There have also been some scattered…

The LP Outback an other guides are still good value the latest Australian one is catering for a new market and moving away from budjet travellers.I have met several people carring the old guide as they say it has better info for budget travellers.It is full of upmarket designer cafes and $100 plus accomadation,it may be time for LP to revamp and decied what market it is catering for.I have no objection to 5 star hotels being listed but when you get 8 an 10 line entrys with useless crap that they…

Well, I have read reports of being able to get a Tourist Visa the same day in London, but it has been a while. I don't have a direct link handy.
The problem that you might encounter will not be upon entry into Thailand. Instead, the problem you must somehow overcome will be checking in for your flight to Thailand. The airline is responsible for ensuring that you are in compliance with the visa regulations of the country that you are flying to. If you are denied entry into Thailand for this…

If she was able to board the flight she would be denied entry because VWP entry is prohibited if you have ever overstayed. She cannot apply for a B2 in the US, you apply at a US Consulate overseas, Japan would be the obvious choice, it requires a visa interview so can take from a week to a month to arrange but as I said there will likely be a ban, if you overstay 180 days it is a 3 year ban and if you overstay a year it is a 10 year ban, I do not know what the ban would be if the overstay was…

Israel does not deny people entry for their passport stamps.Yes,you may be questioned more than others if you have stamps from a lot of Muslim countries like Iran and Lebanon.
You don't need a 'fake itinerary'...if they ask you where you are going I'd.just say the places you are going.Including Bethlehem etc.There is no reason why they should refuse you entry for that,loads of tourists go there.There are guided tours to places like Nablus from the most popular hostels in Jerusalem..
As for the…

Fascinating stuff, but of absolutely no relevance to the visa discussed in this thread, which has a stated duration of stay, unlike the rare one you mention.
The rare ones you mention were primarily issued through Hong Kong travel agents -- Japan Travel, in particular -- who had good relations with the Shenzhen PSB, which at the time issued visas cheaper than the MFA Visa Office in Hong Kong.
Myself, I was once almost denied entry to China at Tashkurgan because the PSB there had never seen one…

Note that for an overland entry you are required to have a visa (Belgian passport notwithstanding).
When we last entered Venezuela overland (a while ago now) we took the trouble to get visas, and had no problems.
Whether this requirement is in fact applied is far less certain - you will see many posts, and hear from many people, saying that there is no visa requirement. The truth is that the rules are applied informally and capriciously, if at all. You will probably have no problem, although…

Greetings.
I have this in mind:
Buy return ticket, fly to Azerbaijan, go to Georgia, go to Armenia, go to Iran, go back to Azerbaijan and fly home.
I noticed there is a double-entry tourist visa for Azerbaijan available at the embassy. I'm from Croatia (now part of EU), is it feasible for me to obtain this visa? If I need a LOI, is there any agency or whatever that you could recommend? My Azerbaijan embassy also says on its website that I would need a LOI or "a hotel reservation and plane…

BP officers who screen arrivals have broad discretion when deciding whether to admit or deny arriving visitors. One person's experience is not a reliable predictor for what another traveler can expect, especially when there are written regulations which define entry requirements. As poster Queretaro noted, it is a bit unrealistic to expect that the officer will simply blow off an obvious violation of the regulations.
The bottom line is that the OP does not satisfy the requirements to enter…

This question has been asked many times on here (indeed on almost every branch ;-)
There is no definitive answer.In theory,people without an onward ticket can be denied entry (this applies to nearly every country in the world).In practice it is very rare that immigration officials in CA will stop you from entering....unless you look suspicious!
I have never been asked at a border to provide any proof of onward travel.....that doesn't mean it is impossible,just that it has never happened to me.
