Brazilian Visas
 

Brazilian officials were not amused at a US pilot's protest against their recent immigration policies :rofl:

Doesn't suprise me.
Once day out in Saudi on the way to the beach or Taif, we had to go past "checkpoint charlie" as we called it (there so that non-muslims didn't accidently head into mecca or medina).
You had to present your passport and igama, no biggie, never had a problem before, but this day there was a tail back because of the american infront.
He was f'ing and blaring about why should he show them his papers, while the police were being as polite as they could (armed with uzi's tho)
In the end, seeing the tail back and having enough with this obnoxious yank, they asked him to pull off the road.
We were up next, so mum made sure we all had our passports and dad's igama.
As they were being checked dad commented that it looked like they had a spot of bother, refering to the yank
"There's always one sir" the guard replied, and with a smile waved us on.
From then on, whenever he saw us, he'd always say hello and see how we were :)

So the moral of this story is, if you need to get through a security check, it's better to be polite and reasonable than obnoxious (just look at that advert on telly at the mo where the guy has all the practical joke stuff, and in the end gets the rubber glove treatment for it!)

Isn`t it funny how the American's want to try and make the rest of the world jump through hoops when it comes to security, but kick up a fuss when the same rules are applied to them.

I am always extremely polite to people carrying Uzis. :rolleyes:

So, if the Brazilian tourism industry suffers losses over the next few months, whose fault is it? lol, I'm going to laugh so hard when Americans, with their credit cards, stop going to Brazil and go to Argentine or Peru instead.

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

But surely the same applies to the US? That's why I named the thread Brazilian Visas. As a follow-up to American visas

What was that thing about Americans and irony again :D

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

But that's just ironic. :LOL: ;)

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

Oh WOW, so our tourism will go down by 0.000000001%. How many Brazilians do you think have enough money to even afford an airplane ticket, much less visit the U.S. for a vacation?

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

I wasn't talking about Brazilians. Europeans may decide to not travel to the US as well. Especially if they need to obtain a costly visa and have to travel to the US consulate/embassy to get a visa.

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

Most European countries have always needed visas. Nothing changed.

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

Making rather sweeping assumptions about a country there, which I've noticed that you seem to do rather a lot if criticising someone else helps support your dubious opinions. According to your incredibly well informed estimate that would mean that no-one in Brazil could afford to come visit the USA. I think that demonstrates that the point you've just made isn`t worth paying attention to.

Re: Brazilian Visas
 

Most EU countries fall under the Visa waiver program, so, as an EU national you do not need to get a Visa at present.
