We have friends, a married couple from the Dominican Republic, coming to the US on 30-day visas. We are US passport holders, and would like our friends to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Are they allowed to enter Canada for a few hours to a day with their DR passports and US visas? Do they need a visa to enter Canada and can they leave the US and re-enter with their 30-day US visas?

I'm flying to Barcelona from Israel via Istanbul. The layover in Istanbul is 12 hours, and I'm thinking about leaving the airport and entering the country for a couple of hours. Would that be possible? Are there any Border/Airline restrictions?  I'm Traveling with Turkish airlines, and hold a passport which does not require a visa to enter Turkey.  I've done this in the past, but only inside the Schengen area, so this question is Turkey-specific.

Do I need a transit visa to stay airside?  I have been scared that British Airways have stopped a few people from boarding flights (no details just rumors).  Do I need a transit visa to stay landside? I want to do some sightseeing. What are the chances of getting past officials using transit without visa concession?

I have read that, at the time of writing (2013), UAE visas are:   96-Hour : Valid for passengers in transit Tourist : Maximum 30 days Visit   : Maximum 90 days   But I am only connecting flights, so I am staying in the airport. And can't find any information regarding that case.  I only could find  something implicitly saying that you do not need a visa if staying in the airport:     Can I leave the airport when transiting through Dubai?      This depends on the nationality stated in your passport and on the   length of your stop in Dubai. Travellers of most nationalities require   visas to enter Dubai, and regulations frequently change, so if you   wish to leave the airport while in transit through Dubai, please check   your visa requirements with your local UAE embassy before you start   your journey. Travellers of certain nationalities may obtain visas at   the airport on arrival.   see also:

Do I need to get out of International Zone at Charles de Gaulle airport when changing terminals from 1 to 2e?   I'm flying ULN-Beijing-Paris-Manchester. ULN-Paris is Air China then Paris-MCR is Flybe. I have 3.40 hours between the connecting flight at Charles De Gaulle airport. my problem is that Air China won't check my baggage to my final destination. I have to pick it up then re-check again. If I don't have to leave the international zone of the airport, then I won't need a transit visa. Do I have to leave the international zone and go through passport control to collect my bag and re-check it in again to board Flybe to Manchester? Also is 3:40 hours enough to do all of this when solo traveling with a 3-year-old child? If I decide to travel baggage free and with carry-on only, I don't need to leave transit zone to change terminals?   Than you very much for any advice!

I have a flight booking from San Jose, USA to Frankfurt, Germany. The itinerary has a transit through Charles de Gaulle, Paris. Since this will be my first stop in the Schengen Region, will I have to go through Passport control at Paris?   My concern is that my flight has a transit time of 90 minutes at CDG. Will this be enough to go through whatever administrative steps are required?  EDIT: I'm an Indian citizen with a Long-Term residence visa for Germany.
