PROBLEM: Looking at website of Guyanese Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil I'm not sure if they issue visas to foreigners:


  We advise that Brazilians do not need a tourism visa to get into Guyana (...) Fees: touristic visa - R$45,00 (...)


Since they mention that Brazilians don't need a touristic visa and yet publish its price, I understand they issue visas to foreigners. There's also a visa form in English available on their website.

On the other hand, according to Polish MFA (information available in Polish only)


  You can apply for a visa in Guyanese Embassy in Brussels or Caracas, Venezuela


My question is, as a citizen of Poland and resident of Brazil, can I get Guyanese visa in Brasilia, Brazil? 


SOLUTION: Can Polish citizens get a visa to Guyana in Brazil?

PROBLEM: Having spent a bit too much time in the pocket of my trousers, the name and emblem of my country have been erased from the front of my passport. The relief is still visible if you look at it under a lamp, but at first glance the front is entirely red with no text or graphics. To know what country I live in, you'd have to look at the page opposite the laminated information page.

In addition, the pages are rather ragged, although there are no tears, water damage or similar.

Is my passport now "damaged" enough that I will not be let into countries with strict border guards? It has worked fine for the occasional passport check at airports in Schengen, but I suspect border guards in Turkey or China may be considerably stricter.


SOLUTION: Name and emblem of country no longer visible on front of passport -- is it "damaged"?

PROBLEM: I'm going to visit Amsterdam next week for a couple of days and then I'd like to take a series of bus and/or sea trips ending up in Warsaw, or anywhere on the east shore of the Baltic Sea (from Gdansk to St. Petersburg). I'm yet to decide the details of this trip, whether it will be so distant or not, but I would like to know the following:

When arriving at a reasonably large town in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark or Poland how likely am I to find cheap overnight accommodation without prior booking?

The idea is to arrive to a town, go sightseeing, have my six hours of sleep and then move on to the next town. But the plan isn't going to work if I have to spend most of the time finding a bed and shower instead of enjoying the sights.

So, are such services common in Western Europe?


SOLUTION:
Finding overnight accommodation in Northwest Europe
