I bought a ticket to Thailand I arrive in Bangkok September 2nd, and leave October second. I essentially fly out on my 31st day in the country. I also have bought a one way ticket to Laos near the end of my trip to spend a few days there then was considering just crossing back over the border by bus.  I am not a little concerned that I may have an issue without having a visa (although I am going to leave the country for a day or two or more). I have just read so many different views on this. I tried to reach the consult, which seems to be quite challenging. I also live about 7 hours away from the nearest one and I am not in a window now to apply by mail. Any advice?

A friend in Thailand with no visa has been told he has to leave before the end of the month or he will be put in jail. How do I get him home back to the UK?

I'm planning on taking the trans-Siberian / trans-Mongolian from Moscow to Beijing via Ulaan Bataar next year and I'd like some advice on how best to organise the visa situation.   I'm a British citizen, my partner is Swedish. We'll need visas for Russia, China and Mongolia. Seeing as you can only book the train tickets like 3 months in advance and you need to get all the visas together in that time as well, the process seems likely to be a bit complicated. Especially if you end up getting declined for a visa.  What is the best process or method for obtaining the visas (in which country order) and is there any kind of trustworthy service that will do it for me? If I go through a service, what happens if one of my visas is declined?

Reading the  questions here, I am not too hopeful, but this is the perfect site to find the answer if it does exist:  Facts:   I arrive at T5 (British Airways) at 08:30, depart at 11:40 from T5 (British Airways) to another country. No time once I reach final destination to shower, Leave straight from work to catch the first leg. US citizen + passport, only final destination visa (currently)   Desire:  I want to shower - 10 mins is plenty.  Assume money is no object (pay for lounge access, cabs etc), but I'd rather not buy full ticket if I can avoid it.  P.S. It's a wedding, so I REALLY want to shower before haha.  EDIT: My plan so far (which doesn't work because it's after Security):   Travel from  Use    UPDATE:  I followed G &amp; Doc's advice and walked over to the Sofitel Hotel (Immigration + walk ~20-25 min total) showered there for £25 and walked back through Security with plenty of time to spare.  Thank you all for your help!

A friend from Russia (Moscow) is planning to visit me in late August. She is about to apply for a visa but she's worried that they will deny her application because she doesn't have anything to prove her willingness to return. She is 22 years old an just got her first degree in university and even though she will continue studying in the next semester, she won't have any documents from the university until September.  Is it likely that she won't get the visa? If so is there anything we can do about that, like proving she has a return ticket / reservation?  Edit: I should add that she lives with her parents (who are paying for the trip).

Some destinations have a "90/180 rule" which says you can come and go but you must not spend over 90 days out of any 180 days in the area.  concerns this rule.  At least Schengen and Turkey have this rule, probably depending on where the traveller is from and what kind of visa they apply for.  Maybe I'm a dummy but I've always had a lot of trouble trying to add up how many days I've spent in such places when I've entered and left several times over recent months.  Is there an easy way to do this I'm missing or is it difficult for everybody? I'm guessing something based on counting backwards from the end date might be the trick?  Maybe you know of an app or website that can do this for you.

I have a valid ESTA.  If my visa waiver 90 days end on August 1, and I have a ticket leaving the US on the same day, would it be OK or should I purchase a ticket a day before?

I am on a gap year and have completed exactly 90 days in the Schengen area. I then flew to Morocco and have been here for 2 months. In 3 days I fly to London for another 2 months, and then will fly to the Czech Republic for a period of exactly 90 days. So, 90 days in, 4 months out, 90 days in.  The problem may be that the flight from Morocco to London has a connection in Madrid. It goes Morocco to Madrid Terminal 4s, then terminal 4 to Gatwick. I believe there is a shuttle bus between terminals 4s and 4.  I'm flying in three days time. (Don't know why I just thought of this now.) From what I've just read here and in other places I think I might be in trouble as I may not be able to enter Schengen as I will fall foul of the 90 days in 180 days rule.  From early comments it looks like my only option is to bin the (non-refundable) indirect tickets and buy direct flights (ouch!). I'm on a backpacker budget and any suggestions would be gratefully received.  Update: The flights are: IB8191 operated by Air Nostrum and  IB3718 operated by Iberia Express, both flights on a single Iberia ticket.    I tried calling Iberia but they couldn't put me through to anyone who spoke English. I called MAD airport, and was given a number to ring (not sure exactly who) and explained the issue (Countries, terminals etc). They said I would go through immigration but it would be fine. I again said that I had used all my Schengen days but they said it didn't matter.   Assuming that I rely on this information and continue with my original arrangements I'll post back here to say how it went, which gaol I landed up in etc.

My husband has a Chinese passport and I am a U.S. citizen; I don't need a visa to travel to Schengen countries. I am helping him to apply for a visa.  Our plans are to go to Paris, Italy and Spain, but we haven't nailed down definite dates; the approximate dates are August 18 to September 11. We made an appointment with Spain consulate to apply for the visa. We need to show air flight reservations, I could book it online without any problems.    Since we don't have definite dates, what dates should he put down on the application?  I know that, once they approve you, they give you 90 days, so does it matter what dates I put down on the visa application?   Our appointment at the Spanish Consulate is in a few days.

I have a flight from Bangalore, India to Manila, Philippines via Bangkok. It’s with the same airline (Thai Airways) but I will have to spend 10 hours in the airport at Bangkok for the connecting flight to Manila. Do I need a transit visa for Bangkok? Also, do I have to pass through immigration with luggage at Bangkok? I don’t have a visa for the Philippines as I will be staying there for a week. I have an Indian passport and a UK standard visit visa.

On 15 May, I entered Chile; my visa was for 3 months. On 10 July, I booked a ticket to go to New Zealand. I bought the ticket from LATAM Airlines for $1700 (USD).  But they didn’t let me board the flight to go to New Zealand and also they didn’t refund my money. Now, it is three months that I have been trying to get back my money, but they don’t want to give it to me unfortunately.  Now I want to leave Chile and go back to Amsterdam, my home. What should I do ?

I arrived in South Africa from Australia at the end of october, so I have 3 months in the country, but in december I left the country for a month and recently re-entered thinking I would get another 3 months. But they didn't give me the extra 3 months because they said I had to return to South Africa, so they only gave me the stamp for 3 more weeks, counting the 3 months from when I first entered.  Does anyone know if this is a new rule that you have to go back to where you came from? Because I thought I would get another 3 months as that is what happened with most people I know that didn't get a visa, and now it is too late to get a visa or an extension, does anyone know what will happen to me if I don't leave in 3 weeks and keep my original ticket which was 3 months?

I am from Egypt and I'm planning a vacation to Spain and France. While filling the visa application, should I choose a single or a multiple entry visa?! If i got a single entry Schengen visa, I still can travel from Spain to France and then back to Spain as long as it is during the valid dates of my visa right?!

I was wondering if someone could help me out with the following question. I bought a ticket New York - Zurich - Vienna - Lviv (Ukraine). I read online on Swiss immigration website the following information (actually your website states the same):  If you a a permanent resident of the United States (which is my case), you can travel through Schengen airports (I read specifically about Swiss airports) without transit visa, regardless of your citizenship.  I am a Ukranian but I have the old non-biometric passport, which still should have been fine, since as a US permanent resident, I can travel through Swiss airports without a transfer visa (I don't have to leave the Schengen zone inside the airport.  In New York airport, I was denied boarding. I spoke with 2 supervisors and they all said the same: if you are doing 2 transfers in the Schengen zone, you have to have a transit visa, with no exemptions. I showed them 2 websites including the Swiss immigration and was told it's not the information they would acknowledge.  I still think I was right and that exemption rules should apply to me. I ended up buying another ticket and missing Christmas dinner with my family. Anyone with any suggestions, please help!
