hi! my fellow bloggers, how have you been?
I will just go through the basic ideas of what passport and visa are in case if any of you are unsure about these.
Visa is a permission issured by a representative of the country you will be visiting (usually is the officials in a consulate) visa is in the form of a stamp placed inside the passport representing you as a non-citizen's permission to enter, transmit or remain in the country.Usually, it states the length of time that you will be allowed to visit the country.
Whereas, passport is just an official document issued by a national government, granting the holder certification of his or her identity and nationality for the purpose of international travel.
When I browsed through the smartraveller site, it strongly advised us not to travel to the following countries:
Luckily, I do not need to apply for a visa to travel to the United Kingdom
The World Health Organization has confirmed human deaths from avian influenza in China, so I am going to buy medical insurance before my departure to cover any overseas medical costs.
There is a tightened currency policy stating that people entering and/or exiting the European Union (EU) carrying 10,000 Euros or more (or the equivalent amount in another currency) are required to declare the cash at the place of their arrival or departure from the EU. However, I do not need to worry so much about that, as under the legistration,there is no requirement to declare cash for people travelling to or from another EU country.
In italy, demonstrations and strikes are a common occurrence. Often lead to disruptions to public transport services, including air, shipping, train and taxi services, leading to delays and cancellations, particularly in tourists areas.Petty crime including bag snatching, pick-pocketing, passport theft also is a frequent occurrence. I need to be extremely wary about where to put my bags and valuables when I am aboard trains and other public transports.
