what’s up everyone for my apartment in manila as i am currently in process of getting my venezuela visa which is the very last visa i need to secure before visiting every country in the world i thought i would make a little video explaining what is a visa and how to get them a visa is basically a document that allows you to enter a country for a specific length of time to do a specific thing such as study work or be a tourist it’s funny because i never really talk about getting visas but it’s one of the biggest challenges i have of visiting every country okay now i’m running to this lady’s house to get my freaking visa my libya visa then i gotta go straight to the airport i haven’t even booked my flight yet because i want to check my visa to make sure that it’s legit and she lives like on the other side of the freaking city and then i gotta go all the way back to the airport so in this video i will be explaining how to get visas for all of you aspiring travelers out there firstly you need to check whether or not you need a visa for your desired country and the way you do that is by checking the wikipedia page in my case i find the page called visa requirements for us citizens and it’s never once failed me in the last eight years it updates immediately whenever a visa requirement changes but if you want more proof then go to your government’s website and check each country will give you one of three options option one is visa free which means you can literally show up at the airport or land border with your passport and get stamped in no problem and with no payment with my us passport i can do this in 176 countries while deanna can do it in 67 countries with her philippines passport option 2 is that you will need to get an e-visa or a visa on arrival to enter a country sometimes the e-visa requires you to get it a few days or even weeks in advance with a payment online and other times you can get it directly at the airport or land border after paying a fee about to walk over the uzbekistan border from tajikistan then they will stamp the visa in your passport and you’re good to go thank you an example of this is ethiopia i just paid 50 each time at immigration and they give me this fancy sticker option three is that you’ll need to get a proper visa in advance before visiting your desired country and this can only be attainable at one of their embassies it’s typically easiest to get it in your home country but you can also get it on the road as i’ve done many times i have the receipt papers here i’m going to make the payment now getting visas at embassies is always the longest most expensive and most annoying option you must obtain all the requirements such as proof of occupation a bank statement to prove you can afford it your flight and hotel confirmations and explain what you will be doing in the country sometimes you even need to go a step further by showing a doctor’s note and a criminal background check then you must leave your passport with the embassy for anywhere from 1 to 30 days while they process your application you pay the fee which ranges from 20 to 300 and then pick up your passport with a shiny new visa stamped in finally i got the passport i’m going to libya it’s official now we’re just going to run to the airport and get to syria first sometimes you can pay an extra fee to expedite it and occasionally you can get your passport mailed back to your home but every embassy is different so you must always check so in a nutshell that is the process for how i get visas and as i’ve told you throughout this video it really varies country by country and in a follow-up video i will be sharing with you the five most challenging and expensive visas that i’ve ever gotten so stay tuned for that but for now i can sit back and relax and it’s a great feeling to know that i am just about done with this visa process to every country in the world thanks for watching and i will see you guys later dude i say goodbye say goodbye baby bye bye bye bye thank you for watching i’m drewbinski and if you like my travel videos please click subscribe and join me as i plan to visit every country in the world
