If I stamped my passport for an international flight as we usually do before international departures and then I changed my mind for any reason, for example a family emergency reason. What's the process to cancel the stamp and leave the departure area? 

Output: After passing through immigration at the airport, is it possible to cancel the stamp and go back?
My friend is away from home right now; he lives in Ohio and has had a car accident in the state of New Jersey. What does he need to do locally before he can return home? He says a state trooper took his testimony; should he stick around and ensure a police report is filed or can he leave and handle anything else via mail?

Output: What needs to be done locally in case of a car accident while travelling in the US?
In Germany there is a brilliant service called packstation. I envy my German friends for this service where packages can be delivered which you can then collect at any time. Typically they are located at very public places (typically gas stations). In Germany you don't longer need to stay home to receive a package. 

I will be traveling through Germany soon, where it would help if I could use this service as well. Unfortunately the registration website requires recidency in Germany.

Is there really no way non-residents could use this service?

Output: Can you register for a "packstation" in Germany if you are traveling through Germany?
I am planning a vacation to Japan, and currently have two possible plans. In plan A I leave well before Golden week (on 4/24). In plan B I leave during the first weekend of golden week (4/28, on Saturday night).

In terms of itinerary, I prefer plan B, but I'm wondering if being in Tokyo during the first Friday and Saturday of the nationwide vacation week is going to be a horror show. Will the city be unenjoyable for those days? Should I expect that the airport on Saturday night will be a complete mess, and my flight home will be packed?

The question boils down to this: During the Friday and Saturday before Golden Week, will Tokyo be so crazy that I should reschedule my vacation around it, or is it still bearable, if more crowded than usual?

There's no empirically right answer to this obviously; I just want to hear your opinion and your experiences.

Output: How much should I fear golden week in Japan?
Are only Catholics/Christians allowed to visit the Vatican?

If not, can the non-Catholics access the same areas as Catholics?

Output: Do I have to be Catholic to visit the Vatican City?
I'm currently in Kyrgyzstan, waiting (like so many others), for a visa - for me it's to Kazakhstan.  I'll go to Almaty, then up through to Russia (Novosibirsk), across to Irkutsk and down to Mongolia.

However, I need a visa for Mongolia, being a New Zealander citizen.  According to:

http://www.tourmongolia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=275%3Alist-of-mongolian-embassies-a-consulates-abroad&catid=52&Itemid=82&lang=en

I have a choice of an embassy/consulate in Almaty or Irkutsk.  However, given the problems people have with visas in these countries, I'm wary that one might be more straightforward.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how this may be sped up, or whether one is more likely to be easier than the other to get the visa? And by easy, I'd prefer 'fast' :D

Output: 'Easiest' Place to get a Mongolian Visa?
What is the shortest passenger route served by wide-body aircraft (i.e. B747, B777, A330, A340, A380 etc.), preferably on daily basis, preferably by Lufthansa (but any airline flying from Frankfurt will work for me).

The shortest one, I found, is FRA-IKA (Frankfurt-Teheran) direct flight with less than 5 hours of flying, served by Lufthansa on daily basis with B747.

Output: Shortest wide-body route from Frankfurt
Upon visa-less immigration to Cost Rica, I would have to prove sufficient funds of $100 per month of residence (Source)

Since I don't expect them to have a dollar-giving ATM before immigration control at San Jose airport and my local currency is Euro, I wondered how I can prove that.

Euros are not accepted in Costa Rica I'd guess. Banks in my area could give me a $100 bill (but none of them could provide Colones yet), but does the next taxi driver have sufficient change to accept it? Or will immigration control accept any bank account report showing I have more than 100 Euro on it?

Output: Visiting Costa Rica: How to prove sufficient funds?
As an example I've recently been to Paris and the level of credit card adoption there is so high I didn't once need to take out cash. I likewise assume many of the locals avoid cash altogether and only pay by card. 

But what's the etiquette in places where tips are common, like bars and restaurants? Are you supposed to keep cash just for the tips? Or is it up to the waiter/barman to offer you a tip option on the card terminal? I've tried asking the wait staff if I can leave a tip by card but they either misunderstood me or their POS terminal didn't have such a feature. 

Output: Are cash tips still expected in cities where nearly everything is cashless?
The bed in the hotel I am staying at has the rigidity of wood! It gave me a terrible night as I woke up every hour or so with loss circulation in my limbs. Even after spending the whole night in bed, I feel more tired than when I went to sleep!

The only trick I know is to sleep over the blanket, which I folded in two, but in a place where its 37C during the day, the blanket offers very little padding.

What else can be done to improve sleep on a hard bed?

Output: How to manage with an unusually hard bed?
Here's my situation. I am currently in France on an internship visa (different than a business and tourist visa) which ends next month. I'm interested in doing some traveling afterwards, ideally on a 90-day Schengen tourist visa. I'm willing to hop over to a non-Schengen country (like the UK) for a couple days and then come back to get the tourist visa if necessary. 

This post seems similar to my question, except the OP is trying to get the tourist visa without leaving the Schengen area.

Is this allowed? Will the border patrol still give me the tourist visa after my internship visa expires? Will it work through the UK or should I go through another non-Schengen country? I have a USA passport.

Output: Can I start a tourist Schengen visit after my long-term Schengen visa is over?
Assuming two different trips - one with a current and one without, what is a reasonable speed to assume for a journey?

First - Norfolk, VA to Bermuda to the Azores to Liverpool

Second - Liverpool to the Azores to Bermuda to Norfolk, VA.  (funny how I did that, no?)

I'm trying to get an understanding of how fast a regular sailboat, not using power, traverses a wide body of ocean, both with and against a current.  A rough order of magnitude for a lesiurely rate of speed is what I'm after here.

As far as size goes, consider a private craft, again, under sail, not engine, maybe 30' - 40'. The idea would be a boat two people could crew and afford :). Feel free to make other assumptions- the idea is to understand if I'm talking days, weeks, or months. 

Output: How fast can one expect to travel in an ocean-going sailboat?
Knowing that AT&T is a global network, I was curious about what it would look like to use my phone internationally if they're my carrier. I came across their Passport Packages information, which states that if I want to use WiFi in another country at all (this was clarified by an AT&T representative) I would have to pay for the $60 package at a minimum.

If AT&T isn't the provider of the WiFi to which I'm trying to connect, how can they charge their customers to use it?

Output: How can AT&T charge me to use WiFi while I'm abroad?
What is the reason that when you book a flight between 2 destinations from an airline website (aircanada.com), the prices are much more than when you book the same through a discount website like cheapoair.com?

Output: Why airline websites charge more money than discount travel websites
I am travelling to Budapest from India for a week.

What is the process for getting a sim card for a traveler and where can I find it ?

Output: Which SIM card to use in Budapest?
I've bought an airline ticket (with SK) that I'm entitled to refund per their Conditions of Carriage because of a schedule change. They've agreed to refund me, but say that they will only refund me to the card I used to book the flight. This card has been cancelled, and I will not be able to get the money from my bank if it is "returned" to this card.

Are airlines entitled to only repay you to the credit card you booked with when this is not mentioned in their CoC? If not, who do you contact to enforce your agreement with them (short of small claims court)?

Output: Refund airline ticket to different credit card
I will be landing in Victoria Falls and starting a truck tour which goes through Zambia and back into Zimbabwe. When I called the Zimbabwe embassy in London, they said that I will need to get two single entry visas at the border ($50 each). They didn't want to give me any info on multiple entry visas. Is it possible to get one at the port of entry?

Output: Can a New Zealander get a multi entry visa for Zimbabwe on arival?
Flights out of London Heathrow do not contain departure gate information until about 45 minutes before the flight is ready to depart (presumably so you spend more money at the duty-free). Are there any public APIs or resources that will tell me which gate my flight departs from before the Heathrow departure screens do?

Output: Determine gate for departing Heathrow flight
I'm really lost trying to understand the tariff for Nuremberg (Nürnberg) public transport. This is the most complicated thing I've ever met. 10 tariff zones and a dozen of ticket zone variants...

Let's say I'd buy a periodical (weekly for example) ticket for Tariff A (zones 100 and 200, Nürnberg, Fürth and Stein). What ticket do I need if on single day I'd like to travel to, let's say, Erlangen (zone 400, zone 300 is crossed). 

If I'm going to stay there the whole day and use multiple buses etc., do I need to buy daily ticket for 4 zones, or can I buy some kind of supplemental ticket for zones 300 and 400 (because I already have the ticket for zones 100 and 200)?

Output: What kind of ticket is required to travel to other zones having Nuremberg periodical ticket for tariff A?
Two days ago I flew with KLM from Calgary to Germany, first with the "Dreamliner" 787 and then with the 737 in economy class. I had the impression (due to my impaired space during eating on the 787) that the seats in the 787 are narrower than in the 737.

Is this true or just my imagination?
With the distance between the seat rows I am not so sure. Maybe reduced too?

Output: Are the Seats in the Boeing 787 narrower than in the 737 in KLM Airlines?
I am a doctor and I want to give my plab 2 exam in the UK.  As I am a recent graduate my father is supporting me financially. He is a retired government officer who gets pension, rents from his properties and interest from his fixed term deposits. Please tell me that how should I maintain his bank statement for 6 months, and is my employment necessary to get a visit visa as I heard from many guys that it shows ties back to your country.

Output: How to maintain 6 months bank statements for UK visit visa?
I'm a US citizen and I hold a Washington state Enhanced Driver's License. I'm living in Vancouver for a bit. 

Can I fly domestically without my passport? Micheal Seifert's answer indicates my license will work for the airline, but what about security?

The web says government-issued ID is acceptable for domestic travel, but that obviously presumes Canadian government. 

I get a normal US driver's license probably wouldn't work, but surely if it's good enough for CBS, it's good enough to fly? 

Output: Can I fly within Canada with a US EDL?
I am in Maple Shade, New Jersey and would like to visit Niagara Falls, NY (US side) by this month, after which it will get very cold and I would wait till the summer next year. 

Will the fall have enormous amounts of water now, like it has during the summers? We are planning to take the Amtrak train to go there as it is 8+ hours drive from here. 

Output: Is the amount of water going over Niagara Falls very different in September compared to summer?
I know that it is more expensive / harder to find a car with an automatic transmission to rent, but why is that the case?

My first guess would be that autos are more expensive to buy, and that any excess wear and tear on the car caused by people who are bad at driving manuals simply doesn't come close to the increased purchase price.

Another option would be that people prefer to drive manuals, I guess?

This answer states that they used to have better fuel economy: What is the most common transmission type for rental cars in Japan? Is that still the reason for primarily offering manuals?

The above question & answers indicate that Japan is now mostly (exclusively?) automatics in the rental market. I believe the same is true of NZ and Australia. Are those countries ahead of the curve, or are European countries behind it?

EDIT: Of course, NZ and AU import a huge number of their cars from Japan, so that's probably trickled on through to the rental market (Japan produces less manual cars, countries can't import as many manuals, less available to buy, rental companies wind up with mostly automatics).

Output: Why is it harder / more expensive to rent cars with automatic transmission in Europe?
I am flying from Asheville (AVL) to Atlanta (ATL) - domestic - so I can catch an international flight from ATL to Paris.  Will this mean I have to go through security check in both Asheville AND Atlanta?

Atlanta is the connecting flight

All of my flights are on the same ticket.

Asheville > Atlanta > Paris

My luggage will be checked in Asheville, so it should arrive at my final destination.

Both the flight to Atlanta (from Asheville) and the flight to Paris (from Atlanta) are Air France.

Output: Domestic arrival for international departure
I have 2h40 between two international flights at Ministro Pistarini Airport, in Buenos Aires. Am I screwed?

Coming from Santiago and going to Brazil, both flights are in Terminal A.

The tickets are from different companies (coming with Qantas via LAN, going with United via Turkish).

Output: Time between flights in Ministro Pistarini Airport (Buenos Aires)
I frequently fly around Europe only with a hand luggage. Recently I bought a Kensington lock for my laptop which I usually take with me. The lock did not cause any problems at the airports in Edinburgh, Bremen, Athens, Copenhagen and Stansted. However, it almost got confiscated at the security gate at the Gdansk airport (Poland). It took me half an hour to convince the guard that I do not intend to harm anyone with that. I was told that although there are numerous hand luggage restrictions, the guard has a right to make a subjective decision whether or not to confiscate certain items.

My question is - did anyone hear about similar incidents with Kensington locks? Are there any specific rules or guidlines that I can refer to to defend my right to take the lock with me? Or maybe kensington locks should not be taken on board at all? And how do the restrictions differ around the globe?

Output: Can I put Kensington lock in my hand luggage?
How long time does it take to get through Immigration at Terminal B in Newark these days?

Output: Immigration delay at Newark airport
My Fiance had been in Australian on a tourist visa for 3 times now since 2016. He always return to his country before his visa expires. 4th time he applied it was rejected for the reason that they think he won't stay in Australia temporarily. We always submit same requirements as we did before but cannot understand why his application was rejected. Here is the part of the letter from embassy...


  The applicant is currently self-employed and have provided no evidence of ongoing work commitments and income. Having considered the information, I find that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that he has significant economic ties to the [country of origin] that would induce him to return home within the validity of the visa. I have considered the offer of support provided by his relative in Australia. Generally, however, offers of support or guarantees given by family and friends in Australia are not sufficient evidence of a genuine temporary stay. The onus is on the applicant to satisfy the decision maker that the applicant intends only to stay temporarily in Australia.
  
  I am not satisfied that the applicant's personal circumstances support his claims that he intends to temporarily stay in Australia as a visitor. Therefore, I find that he does not meet clause 600.211.
  
  Decision
  
  As the applicant does not meet clause 600.211(c), I find that you do not meet the criteria for the grant of a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa.
  Therefore, I refuse your application for a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa lodged at [embassy/consulate].


Output: Australian Tourist visa rejected
My friend is coming back to India from Dubai and is bringing a PS4 for me, as it is cheaper there. It is new and in the original, unopened packaging. He has his own carry-on baggage and adding the PS4 would exceed the weight limit. Would it be safe from either damage or theft to pack it in his checked luggage?  

Output: Is it safe to put a PS4 in checked luggage?
I am applying to the French embassy for a one-month Schengen visa. For proof of sufficient means, I have my bank statement (with slightly over $7000) and monthly pay slips (of about $1500). The document requirements say that I need to submit 3 years of IT returns, but I've only been working for 2 years and  haven't filed IT returns even for those years. Can this be a cause for possible rejection of my application?

Output: Are the tax return document mandatory for a Schengen visa?
Background:

I was originally booked on WestJet from Boston to Glasgow through Halifax.  This week, they informed me the BOS -> YHZ flight is canceled, and are wanting to route me BOS -> YYZ -> YHZ -> GLA, doubling the length of the itinerary.

I've called WestJet and they say they can't come up with anything better, so I'm looking for other alternatives.  

One possibility is to book a flight on a separate airline from BOS -> YHZ, then take the original YHZ -> GLA flight (after telling WestJet that's what I'm doing, to avoid being seen as a no-show when I don't get on the plane in BOS; the agent I talked to said this would be possible).  

The concern is that I will be traveling with checked bags, and these would be two separate tickets, so I'm assuming I will need to clear customs in YHZ, collect my bags, and then re-check them and go through security again, and I don't know how long that will take.  Assuming nothing changes (and my faith in that is...tentative, at best), I will have 1 hour 50 minutes between the flights.

Questions:

Are my assumptions correct?  I will need to collect bags, clear customs, re-check the bags, clear security?
How long does that process normally take? The flight from Boston is a small plane, arriving at 9 PM on a Sunday.
How long might that process take in the worst case scenario? (I mean, I suppose the worst case is it takes days because something goes horribly wrong, so I guess I'm really looking for an idea of what's a reasonable upper limit...)
It might be possible to get NEXUS before the trip.  How much will that affect things?


Output: Customs for connections through Halifax with checked bags and separate tickets
Another shopping question, but I do think it is on topic!

I will soon travel to India, the first few months I will spend in the south and lower parts of the country where it will be warm and hot. As I like to travel light, I plan to bring only some light summer clothes. 

Later I will visit the more mountainous regions in the North and would also like to do some trekking in the Himalayas in Nepal. For that I do need warmer clothes and boots.

I am sure I can just buy any normal warm clothes locally, but I do like my quality outdoor clothes, they are just more practical for several reasons.

But being a long-term traveller with little income, I buy most of my outdoor stuff on sale or even second hand. In other Asian countries I did find special outdoor shops but the prices were the same as the full retail-prices in the west or even higher, usually too high for me.

Do I need to buy my fleece, jacket and hiking boots in Delhi or can I wait until I am further north?

How about Kathmandu, being a place with many backpackers and trekkers? What are the prices like?

Output: Is it possible to buy outdoor clothing in Northern India/Nepal?
Rental car companies almost all have in their terms that the driver must have had a license for some amount of time, usually 1 to 5 years.

However, on my driver's license it only shows the date that particular card was issued, not the date I first got my license.  I imagine this is the case for a lot of people.  Because licenses expire every few years, this "issued" date will often not meet the time requirement.

What documentation do I use to prove to a rental car company how long I've had my license?  I doubt they just take you at your word.



It has been suggested that this question is a duplicate of this one.  However, nothing there answers my question.

The most relevant answer there says:


  First things first: rental companies will check your driving licence for validity before they confirm your rental car.
  
  Secondly your age will be checked since there are usually extra fees to be paid by young (< 25 years old) drivers.


But then makes this claim from those statements:


  Having performed these two checks they will know if you qualify as a young driver, and from there computing the validity years of your licence will be a trivial operation.


I fail to see how computing the validity years of a license is a "trivial operation" once you know the drivers age and have their license.  If the license does not have the first issue date on it, merely knowing how old someone is does not in any way tell you how long they have had their license.

Output: How do rental car companies check if I've had my license for the required amount of time?
I am from Australia and planning to visit Canada and U.S this year. I got my ESTA approval but not sure about coming to U.S. twice in a month. I will be visiting NY from Toronto and then back to Toronto and then Vancouver. From there I am planning a trip to LV & LA. Will there be an issue as my second visit will be in a couple of weeks time again to U.S.  Any help please as I am not sure about this, thanks.

Output: Multiple entry in a month allowed under ESTA?
I'm taking a short vacation in northern Taiwan around January 1 and I want to travel about 90 minutes away from Taipei the weekend before New Years. I've had some difficulty reserving the train tickets I want online for the express trains. I can reserve some trains on the days I'm traveling, just not the exact ones that I want.

I've also observed that hotels are all nearly booked up (I have already made reservations).

However, I understand that I can always get on a local train without a reservation. How busy are the local trains from Taipei to Yilan and back the weekend before New Years? I can stand for 1-2 hours if I have to; I will have a large backpack as luggage, though. Thanks.

Output: What is it like using Taiwan's local trains around New Years?
I'm landing at Vienna airport on a Friday (work day) at 17h35 and I'm supposed to attend a meeting at 19h00 close to Stephansplatz in the 1st district. I have only carry-on luggage and an EU passport, flying in from a Schengen country, so I should be out shortly after 18h00.

What is the fastest public transport into the city center taking into account it is rush hour? 

I'd like to be on-time to surprise my colleges at the meeting, who already started picking, like "don't worry we'll wait for you"

Output: Fastest public transport from Vienna airport into city center?
I'm travelling from Munich to Bangkok via Muscat at the end of September (economy class, so no lounge available). The Airport in which I'll land will be the Suvarnabhumi International Airport and the local time will be 8.00.  

My parents will be flying with a different plane, which will land at the same airport at 13.00.
Provided that we already reserved our hotel in BKK and I asked if I could do an early check-in, to which they replied that I had to pay a night more (didn't expect that from a 5 stars hotel), I see myself bored as hell, sweat-stinky (apparently there's no possibility to take a shower in that airport), waiting on a bench with all my (heavy) stuff around. I would very much like to avoid that.
What are my best options (money/time/relax-wise)?


Could I do anything decent enough to spend a couple of hours in the airport (possibly having my baggage stored anywhere?
Should I go to the hotel and try to see if they can make me check-in anyway (and try not to pay more)?
Should I surrender to the hotel's policy and have my room ready for me by paying a night more?
Should I go to the hotel, store my things and go out strolling a bit (with jet-lag, without shower and so on...)?


Output: 5 Hours (at least) to spend in BKK Suvarnabhumi or what else?
I don't cross the Canadian border by vehicle to the USA very often, and I'm not sure if it will pose a problem that I am crossing for an appointment with a tattoo artist in the morning, returning back later that same day after getting my tattoo.

I would have some US cash with me, and would spend most of it by credit card. I would be spending upwards of $1,000, but not in goods and wouldn't be bringing any goods back.

Does anyone foresee any reason why there may be a problem with spending less than 24 hours there? Are there any rules on how much you can spend in that time period?

Output: Crossing US/Canada Border for less than 24 hours
I'm arriving in Thailand and spending 1 month there, traveling other countries for 1 and a half months and then returning for 2 weeks before catching my flight out from Bangkok. 

Is it true that they will refuse my entry if my outgoing flight isn't within 30 days of arrival?

I haven't booked the flights yet. What is the best way to do this? 

Output: Can I get into Thailand if my outgoing flight is 3 months later?
I currently living in Canada and I came back after a short visit (3 days) last night from USA. I came through Windsor and I forgot to hand over my I94 to the Canadian officials.

I am currently on work permit here and I'll be visiting us again during Christmas break ... I wanted to know what will happen if I try to re-enter.
The i94 expires in May 2017 so I'll be re-enter in before it's expiry and I'll be traveling through air through Pearson airport in Toronto. 

I looked at a few of the websites/forums and they said it might take a month or two to update even if I mail them back. But, ill be re-entering again by that time so I am.not sure if I should mail them.

What should I do now ?

Output: I forgot to return my i94 yesterday and I am planning to revisit USA in December . What will happen when I try to re-entry
I am looking for a place to leave 2 pieces of luggage for 3 days in La Paz, Bolivia - preferrably at La Paz El Alto airport (LPB) 

Does anybody know if such a service is available there?

If one simply searches the internet, then the answer is yes - it is supposed to be somewhere in the main hall.

However, I was at the airport today, on arrival from Cuzco, Peru. I was specifically looking for this counter/service and was not able to find it. There was a single currency exchange counter, a souvenir shop and a hallway to connecting flights and that was it.

It seems to be a really small airport/terminal and also there is some construction going on - which might be the reason why I could not find it.

The webpage for the airport has been down for weeks and is of no use. 

To give an overview of what I saw at the airport - first there were the usual passport check booths, right after the booths there was a single belt, from which we picked up our luggage. Then there was the customs check and finally we were in a relatively smallish hall with exit (to taxis) to the left and the currency exchange to the right of us. Maybe the international arrivals are just separated from everything else?

Does anyone know now for sure that this service really does exist as of December 2014? Maybe I did not look for it long and hard enough - if that is the case - where exactly would it be located? 

Output: Luggage storage at El Alto La Paz airport
I am buying a train ticket from Paris to Düsseldorf (Thalys). Can I hop off in Köln to spend sometime and then hop on an RE (regional train) on the same day (within half of a day)? Or do I have to buy a separate tickets? I know I cannot board the Thalys again, because it requires a seat reservation.

Output: When going by a train from Paris to Düsseldorf (Thalys), can I hop off in Köln and then hop on again?
My company is going on a trip to Park City, Utah in the beginning of July, Fourth of July and afterwards. What are the tourist type things like museums or photography ops to check out within a 30 to 45 minute radius of the area? I know we will do some sort of firework display just don't know what yet. We will be there a week so I have about 8 or so days to play with.

Output: Park City, Utah for vacation
I'm flying United from Melb to Mexico City, with a transfer at LAX. MEL=>LAX UA99, LAX=>MEX UA1077.

These were booked on "one ticket" (I believe I'm using the term correctly?), I paid United once and have a single itinerary describing all the flights.

I am now learning that the transfer time for these flight is perhaps tighter than I should have booked (1h45m). I have never travelled internationally before and just picked the one with the shortest layover.

According to step 5 here[1] I don't have to pass through customs, though I'd hardly say its a reliable resource.

This map seems to show UA exclusively limited to terminal 7/8 and apparently there is an "airside" inter-terminal connection between 6,7 and 8.

So I'm figuring that if UA99 lands at 7/8 and UA1077 departs from 7/8, then I can get off one plane, walk to the gate and get on the next, without any customs or immigration? I'm also carry-on only, so no bags to drop/collect/etc.

Is it reasonable to think that?

Relatedly, if I was to miss my connection due to immigration, delays, etc, would United rebook me to the next available since I booked "one ticket"?

I will be going to Nepal for mountain trekking, I want to bring USD simply because it is very hard for me to get Nepalese Rupee in my home country. 

At tourist heavy sites, do most stores accept USD? If no, can I get Nepalese Rupee easily at local currency exchange centers?

Output: Do stores at tourist-heavy sites in Nepal accept USD?
When I was in Barcelona I saw many bike sharing stations in the city, belonging to a program called Bicing. Remembering how convenient it was to use the service in London, I decided to try and register. However their website was in Spanish/Catalan and the stations themselves didn't have a registration option, so I gave up. Reading up on Bicing later on I've found the following paragraph on Wiki:


  The Bicing member cards are only sent to addresses in Catalonia in an attempt to prevent tourists from using the system.


Is this still true as of 2016? If so, is it possible to register and send a Bicing card to a friend's/hotel's address?

The official website also mentions an "In person" ("De manera presencial") registration option. Is it possible for a tourist to use that instead?

Output: How can a tourist register for the Bicing bicycle sharing in Barcelona?
I see on Wikipedia that both Vietnam and Philippines honor an IDP. However I cannot find specific information on whether my motorcycle license would translate and allow me to rent and drive motorcycles in the two countries. Will an IDP allow me to do so?

Output: Will my US motorcycle license translate via International Driving Permit in Vietnam and Philippines?
I travelled alone in Japan for business, for 10 days. I declared that I bought items for $550,  well under the $800 limit. After my non-stop flight from Japan landed at YYZ, I was directed to secondary inspection at approx. 5 PM. The female CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) officer inspected all my belongings and the receipts for my purchases. 

At 5:15, she started alleging that some other items (like clothing, 1 backup pair of eyeglasses, 1 pair of sunglasses) were bought in Japan, as they looked too new and clean to have been bought in Canada. Of course they did...I'm a business professional! But  they aren't that new in fact, and I bought them in Canada. 

I repeated that they were bought in Canada and were brought by me to Japan. She said that she didn't believe me. She  demanded proof that they were bought in Canada. I answered that I bought the clothing in Toronto and can't remember exactly where or when. I told her the name and approximate locations of some opticians that I remember. It feels unreasonable to expect weary travelers to remember details on the spot, without  records on hand.

She then got angry and rude. She said  that I was being evasive and warned me not to lie. She threatened to seize my items. She admonished that I, not she, had the onus of proving to her that I bought these items in Canada. 

At 5:45, I requested politely to speak to her supervisor. She asked why. I answered that I was a little jaded from being reasked the same questions and repeating the same answers for 30 minutes. She got  more offended and ruder, when she raised her voice to ask why I thought she was wasting my time and asking irrelevant questions. I answered that I never said this at all. She said that I don't need a supervisor, if I had nothing to hide. 

At 6, I reiterated my request for a supervisor, and she bitterly told me to be patient. At 6:20, a supervisor showed up, and we repeated the same questions before I was allowed to leave at 6:45. 

In all, I spent 105 minutes in secondary inspection. My tone was always deferential and polite. 


What can be done in the future, to avoid this kind of wrangle, and waste of time? What could I have done better? 

I don't intend to complain against her...I'm too frightened of retaliation and being black-listed.  
Has this wrangle has already put me on some list and blemished my CBSA records?


Output: How do I stop a CBSA officer from wasting my time, by falsely alleging that some of my items weren't bought in Canada?
As usual, lots of fake/spam sites when trying to Google this. And also information that is out of date, applies to other nationalities only, or applies to getting the visa in another location.

Often there are different rules for applying for a visa depending on your nationality, or on which embassy or consulate in which country you apply to.

I also believe that the requirements for a multiple-entry visa may be more stringent than for a single- or double-entry visa, depending on your nationality.

I want to know what documents I need to take to make my visa application in Saigon, Vietnam, in 2015.

I obtained a double-entry visa just over a year ago in Vientiane, Laos and only needed a passport photo and printouts showing one flight in and out of China and one hotel booking. A travel agent in Vientiane booked, printed, and cancelled those for me for $3. I didn't have to book anything for the second visit.

I believe I may have to show that I've visited twice before to be eligible for a multiple entry visa. I have a new passport since those visits and did not bring my old passport. Is it up to me to provide evidence of my previous visits or do they just check my records? Will I at least need the dates?


What is the current price?
How long does it take?
What do I need to provide?

I'm looking to buy an open jaw return ticket LHR->JFK, then BOS->LHR (London-New York, then Boston-London) on Virgin Atlantic, however I can't seem to find such option on their website. Am I missing something or is it simply not available?

I have a 75 hour trip to Beijing (PEK) coming up in October. I shall enter at PEK on a flight from London, arriving at 0930 and continue onwards by air to Hong Kong three days later at 1230, and I shall be travelling on an ordinary British passport.

I understand that the 72 hour transit visa on arrival actually begins the midnight after my arrival (and not immediately after arrival). The relevant text from TIMATIC is
Visa required, except for Holders of British passports
endorsed  British Citizen  holding confirmed onward airline
tickets to a third country, if arriving in and departing from
the same city:
- at Beijing (PEK), Chengdu (CTU), Chongqing (CKG), Dalian
(DLC), Guangzhou (CAN), Hangzhou (HGH), Shanghai Hongqiao
(SHA), Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Tianjin (TSN), Wuhan (WUH),
Xi'an (XIY) or Xiamen (XMN) for a max. transit time of 72
hours, starting from 00:01 on the day following the day of
entry.
- at Guilin (KWL), Harbin (HRB), Kunming (KMG) or Shenyang
(SHE) for a max. transit time of 72 hours;


However, although several non-official sources substantiate this distinction, I cannot find any official confirmation of this. Does anyone have any experience in doing this kind of transit?

I am currently in Saint Petersburg on a tourist visa (I'm French). I arrived on Tuesday and I'm leaving on Wednesday morning, so I will be a total of 7 working days in Russia, including the arrival and departure days.
I assumed I wouldn't need to register my visa, so I didn't, and neither the hostel where I'm staying nor my sponsor told me anything about it either.

Now I just noticed that because of the world cup the rules have changed, and I was actually supposed to register it within 24 hours, so it's obviously too late now.

What should I do? Should I go try to register it anyway before leaving (and pay whatever fine there is) or should I just forget about it and hope they won't care? Is there a risk they will prevent me from leaving Russia? 

In case that matters, I will be leaving by train to Finland (and on the last day of my visa). 

Output: I did not register my Russian visa, what should I do?
CHOICE travel insurance buying guide mentions alcohol-related exclusions for insurance:


  Alcohol
  
  Cover for overdoing it on vodka and Red Bull and float-tubing down a
  river in Laos isn't included in any policy. Insurers simply won't pay
  for costs arising from you being under the influence of alcohol or a
  drug (except where taken under the advice of a doctor).
  
  Case study: Jenny*
  
  Jenny was nightclubbing with friends in Bali, Indonesia, when she
  became ill after drinking a cocktail. Her friends recognised the
  symptoms of methanol poisoning and rushed her to hospital.
  
  Fortunately, Jenny recovered after two weeks of care. But because she
  had been drinking alcohol at the time she was poisoned, her insurer
  refused to pay the claim.
  
  Jenny's cash-strapped family had to sell their car to pay the $25,000
  in medical expenses.

Alcohol and travel insurance: how does drinking impact your cover? has a look at various travel insurance policies, and lists alcohol-related exclusions for them. For what it's worth, it mentions that just because a company has an exclusion, it's not necessarily a blanket exclusion, such as Southern Cross Travel Insurance (expanded on in their blog post They say "Nothing good happens after midnight!").

I'm aware of the risks of excessive drinking, and I'm not a big drinker - I'm often the only person in a gathering that isn't drinking, but I occasionally have a foreign drink or two when travelling, such as sake or plum wine.

Is it practical to find travel insurance for Australians that has no alcohol-related exclusions at all?

I will be travelling from Lahore to Abu Dhabi to Rome to Dallas to Manhattan KS. The flights are booked in a single ticket with my airline changing from Etihad to American Airlines in Rome. I wanted to know whether I'll go through pre-clearance in Abu Dhabi or will I have to go through Customs in Dallas? 
Secondly, when will I have to recheck my baggage? Will it be when the airline changes in Rome? 

Output: Pre-clearance and Baggage
I am flying with EasyJet next week from Glasgow to Geneva, for my ski holiday.

I noticed the flight times are unusual in that my outbound journey is much longer than my return flight home.

Outbound
Dep 12 January 2013 10:40
Arr 12 January 2013 13:55
Flight 6835 


(3 hours 15 min later)

Return
Dep 19 January 2013 14:35
Arr 19 January 2013 15:55
Flight 6836 


(1 hour 20 min later)

Now I am not the best at maths but you can clearly see there is a major time difference in both flights.

Is there any reasoning behind this? I tried searching the Easyjet site but could find no justification for this.

So I am flying with qatar airways getting a one way ticket from the UK to india. The journey is from manchester to doha then doha to india. (Doha being a connecting flight and I would only stay there for an hour or 2. Going through security then my gate and waiting for my flight). And india being my destination. 

I checked India's entry requirements and it stated passport and sufficient visa which I do have. I have an oci card(indian life long visa) which allows me to come and go as I please. 

I checked Qatar's visa requirements and it said a visa is not needed if on transit if you have an onward ticket. Is this onward ticket a ticket from doha to india? Or is it a return flight? I will be staying with my family in india and i'm not sure if or when I want to come back so a return ticket wouldn't make sense in my situation. 

Please someone advise me. If getting a return ticket is better and will avoid any hassle then please let me know. 

Also does qatar airways not allow you to board the flight if you have a one way ticket and not return? As many people have said that many airlines don't allow you to board if you have a one way ticket.

I'm looking to travel by train from Lucerne to Montreux in Switzerland.

sbb.ch gives me two main options:


Via Bern, in 2.5 hours: route map
Via Neuchatel, in 3 hours: route map


Is the latter significantly more scenic? If not, I will choose the faster route.

Output: What is the most scenic route from Lucerne to Montreux?
I know this question was asked many times, and I read most of the answers, only my quest centers on the time that has passed since my overstay. 

Briefly, my story is I visited the US as a tourist from Argentina in 1993, and being there I wanted to try the experience to live there for a while, rented an appartment, could get a basic job as a driver doing deliveries, and ended up living for about one and a half years. After that, and realizing living as an illegal was a deadend with no promisory future, I just picked my things, bought a plane ticket and departed in 1994 never to return. 

Long story short, after almost 25 years, now I´m a professional, have a good situation and would just like to make a short vacation there. 

Here´s my main doubt; I´m not sure if it´s convenient or relevant to mention my overstay when applying for a visa, considering after such a long time they may not have record of that; or do Customs keep records for that long, and could backfire me here at the Consulate, or upon arrival at the airport? 

I add additional information 
To make things more interesting, I also have an italian passport. Since I am of italian descent I own the double citizenship. This passport grants me VWP, but that doesn´t guarantee automatic entrance, that´s why I chose to go with the argentinian one which needs a visa. I assume that having a visa makes entrance more likely since you underwent a previous official scrutiny; or does it not? Besides using a different passport could seem an obvious way to dodge that scrutiny and make it even harder.

I will be visiting the beautiful town of Lisbon this weekend with a group of friends from Germany. Since the next German world cup game is pretty important we want to watch and support our team on Saturday (8 pm) against Sweden.

Unfortunately I don't speak Portuguese so I could not find a place online where this match will be shown. Does anybody know a place where we could watch the match Sweden - Germany / Saturday 8 pm in Lisbon? It does not have to be fancy but if possible it should be quite central and/or close to where we stay (city district Baixa).

I framed the question a bit broader because answers might be helpful for German visitors who will be visiting Lisbon at a later time during the world cup (and if Germany makes it to the Best of 16s of course).

Output: Where to watch German world cup soccer games in Lisbon?
I have dual citizenship. South African and Dutch.

I am traveling from Amsterdam via Heathrow to Nairobi Kenya.

I have exited Netherlands on my Dutch passport, but was warned not to show my South African passport at Heathrow. 

I do not need a visa if I enter Kenya on my South African passport.

Should I be worried about this warning? And what should I do when asked for my visa at Heathrow(I don't have one)?

Output: Dual Citizenship Question Netherlands to Kenya
I'm soon going to Guadeloupe, Dominica and Martinique and am considering doing a day trip from Guadeloupe to Montserrat by ferry. I do not plan on bringing my passport, as my (Swedish) ID card is valid for Guad+Dom+Mart (Guad+Mart obviously, Dom too according to their head of immigration, whom I asked via e-mail)

Montserrat remains the question, as I haven't been able to find a proper e-mail address to send a message to.

Reading through the Montserrat immigration act, it says you do not need a passport if being a passenger "in transit by sea or air who does not intend to remain in Montserrat for more than fourteen days provided they are in possession of through tickets to some other destination"

It's on page 71 of this document http://agc.gov.ms/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/13.01-Immigration-Act.pdf

My question is: would a same-day return ticket to Guadeloupe be acceptable for this purpose?

Output: Does a same-day return ticket count as a "through ticket to some other country"?
