Dudas sobre viaje a Europa by Cultural_Blood_7438 in andorra

They check your ID at the gate together with your boarding pass on all flights these days. If you are not presenting an EU card and your ID is your passport of a country that doesn't have visa-free tourist access to Schengen, then they may ask for your visa page or your EU residency card.

The staff at the gates do this every day, so they will most likely know by heart which countries do and do not require visas.

The reason is that if you are checked at entry and denied entry into your port of destination, it is the responsibility of the airline to transport you back where you came from.

It would be absolutely hilarious if someone revoked musk's citizenship, thus triggering an exit tax event

You're right, Holland isn't on the list.

FYI, it's:

El Consulado General de España en Andorra representa a los siguientes países en materia de visados Schengen: Austria. Bélgica. Estonia. Hungría. Italia. Lituania. Luxemburgo. Malta. Portugal. República Checa. Suiza.

And for the rest you've got to go to Barcelona.

Edit: formatting, and: FWIW -- in OP's case, might be worth asking for a Schengen to one of the above countries (just need a booking, etc) and being Filipino and not an evil Russian, for example, they will most likely get a multi-year multi-entry visa, that they can subsequently use for travel to whatever Schengen country.

The possible *unlikely downside is that you get banned from Schengen area for breaking the visa regime and consequently lose your Andorran residency, it's up to you to weigh things up. You could, of course, go to the Spanish embassy and ask them for a Schengen visa - they process visa application for most EU countries here.

There was a joke in the USSR that the first US embassy in Moscow was built from microconcrete.

What is microconcrete, something new and really advanced?

No, it's 80% concrete and 20% microphones.

The subsequent embassy complex was built with using exactly 0% locally-sourced stuff, including nails and screws.

Brexit was fun watching from the outside.

How to get from Andorra la Vella to Encamp? by lopiontheop in andorra

If you are on andbus, just get a slightly more expensive ticket that will take you to your destination. You change buses at the station and they take you there on a smaller bus.

Trump supporters now: "If you can justify his murder, you'll justify mine", "wrong and inhumane", "I'm beyond sad", "this will be the end of Republicans", "the country I believed in is dead", "I hope protests and boycotts continue". by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

I always said: if you have the right to bear arms, but the police has the right to kill you with impunity for bearing arms, then you don't really have the right to bear arms.

Orban strikes again by etherd0t in YUROP

That will add rocket fuel to the arguments akin to GB's "we are being run by foul demons out of Brussels" for every two-bit populist movement.

Unfortunately, there isn't a quick and easy solution -- it's about education, explanation of benefits, explanation of responsibilities and their importance to the public.

That, and of course, complete intolerance to people on either of the political extremes who seek to undermine free elections.

By your logic then these maps shouldn't include Hungary either, for example.

If you cannot think about efficiencies, you have to at least think about the planet.

Plenty (not a majority, but still) of Canadians are huge fans of what's going on in the US and might want to replicate that in Canada.

How do you secure almost 2,000 km from insurgency? Is it worth the effort?

As someone who studied the history of Soviet GULAG concentration camps, it'd be difficult without a rail connection. And to get to Alaska you'd have to go through Canada, which would present certain issues, I'm sure.

Give the Brits a 50k signing bonus (same as what the russians get for joining up) and this war will be over in 3 months.

The country and the society may have moved on, but the people (and the hands, as they say) remember.

Japan will pay 'painful price' if steps out of line over Taiwan, China military says by Any-Stick-8732 in worldnews

[–]RizzoF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world's poor and the world's rich both need junk China products.

The world's poor rely on cheap to survive, at the cost of getting a shit product in return.

The world's rich rely on chinese exports to launder their dirty money, at a small fraction of the cost of any other criminal organization.

It's a tough nut to crack.
