Visa Rules and Regulations 2019

 

Most people dream to travel all around the world, but the majority just can’t find the time, resources or any other solutions to do so. A few people, however, made their dream come true and even travel for a living (such as wacaday travel bloggers or travel show hosts). It’s nice to see and experience other cultures, especially if they are totally different from yours. If you get the time and you like to visit exotic and eccentric countries you should consider informing yourself about the requirements of visas because there are countries where you need one in order to be able to go. We decided to come to your help, so you won’t have to lose precious time doing a lot of research. But beware, it really depends on the country you are from and the type of passport you have (some citizens are more privileged than others according to their nationality). 

Countries you might need a visa before you arrive

There are some places where you need to secure your visa before you leave your home and some are very easy to acquire, but you can get a few of them on line. There are some countries that have and use eTA or eVisa platforms so it makes it easier and saves you a lot of time from going and staying in a queue. As promised, here are some countries that you might want to visit and require a visa before arrival: Afghanistan, China, Saudi Arabia, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Russia (2018 World Cup excepted), Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Yemen. In addition, here are some countries that offer electronic visas: Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Myanmar, Sri Lanka. 

Countries you can get a visa upon arrival 

Some countries do not urge you to get a visa before you leave to get there and they offer it after you arrive. Of course, there are some countries that also give you the opportunity to get it on line, which might save you time on your vacation. Interestingly enough, some visas are not mandatory if you’re entering the country via cruise ship. So here are some examples of countries where you can get a visa upon arrival (depending on nationality of course): Belgium, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Malawi, Maldives, Mozambique, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tanzania, Zimbabwe. Moreover, these following countries have the option of on-line subscription for one: Cambodia, Egypt, Kenya, Kuwait. You might want to check if you need a Singapore tourist visa, which you can also get on an electronic platform.  

Other things you need to know when you decide to visit an exotic country 

Travelling to an exotic country or region is not as easy as it sounds, because some of them require extra things to take care of. There are a lot of destinations where you might encounter all kinds of viruses, diseases or any other health related problems, so you should consider getting vaccinations just in case, a while before leaving your home (they must have an effect before you arrive). Some places have a very strict policy concerning these issues. Other than that, you should check the weather (it’s pretty obvious, but essential).
