I have had to have visas and work permits to visit some countries. I got a work permit for Finland and a tourist visa for Hungary. I got a working holiday visa for Australia. It was pricey for me to get a tourist visa for Jordan.

I wanted to visit Russia when I was working in Finland but I couldn't afford the accommodation in St Petersburg. Years later I was in the Baltic Countries traveling around the region. I thought about and looked into the possibility of visiting Russia. However the visa charges were far too steep and the paperwork would have been very demanding.

Have you ever needed a visa? Which ones? Were they easy to obtain?
Have you ever not visited a country because the visa is too pricey or the paperwork demanding?

I for myself would like to have a visa in the US, but because of the current crisis there I am afraid to get one. My brother is there in the US and I would like to pay him a visit. I also would like to go to Europe, but I heard for you to get a visa it could really be pricey. For now, I am applying for work in Norway, if ever I am given a visa, then the employer would pay for it. .

I have travelled with work and entered Qatar but, it was literally for a day visit and we had to pay for the visa there but, it was done on arrival so quite quick and easy to do. I hope to go to Rusia one day though so I know I will need a visa then! x

When I got married and was going to join my husband in Australia I had to secure a spouse visa It didnt take very long since we already got married but it is as you said a bit pricey. I would also need to get a visa if I want to travel to the US which is also could be expensive, but I do not need visa in most countries in Asia and in Europe.Yes securing a visa is very expensive and paperwork could be quite demanding.

Visa fees today were more pricey, every month it increasing.
I need to apply for my extension visa here in UK and it gonna cost me £500 for me and my son. But travelling to Philippines and asian countries doesn't need a visa as long as you only stays 21 days, but more than 21 days you need to apply for a visa.

I dont have one but when traveling It is a MUST to have - It is always useful to have a limit to the visa so in case it is stolen you dont lose more than the limit
I agree with you it costs a lot to get a visa no matter how much banks says, or tell you that it will not

Several times, normally without too many problems. Going to India in 1991, I had to get a tourist visa, which took about two days.
When I wanted to stay in Thailand beyond the foreseen four weeks (allowed to all tourists) a few years ago, I had to attend the tourist visa extension office in Bangkok. This took a few hours.
And on the first occasion when I went to the United States, I needed a visa. This, again, I got in a matter of hours.
That said, I have never been anywhere really difficult to get in. I have weighed up going to Myanmar/Burma, but not made it as yet.

Hey max, I could write a list here, but let me tell you the two that 'got-away.' By that, I mean Twow we wanted to apply for but for aon reason or another didn't. First was Poland in 1966. My friend and I wanted to visit Poland and Czechoslovakia, but had time for one only. We went to Czechlosvakia. We had plans to drive from England through the Middle East, and The Sub-continent, but when we inquired in London, had to change our plans due to India and Pakistan conflicts.
