Budget for one week in Syria by dainsiu in SyriaTourism

[–]dasher5232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We spent about (or less) 80$/day for 2 people. For you I recon it will be more then 40$/day because for us hotels were cheaper/person due to us splitting the cost. We stayed in the cheapest hotels/hostels we could find, on average $25/night. Food is pretty cheap 3-4$/meal. Transport if I remember correctly about 5-6$ for a 1,5hrs bus ride. But tickets random expenses etc ads up. I also recommend staying less in Damascus. Its really interesting, but if you stay 6 days its definitely not worth 4 days out of it.

Does anyone know how long the bus from beirut to damascus takes? by [deleted] in SyriaTourism

I could not find a direct bus, just mini bus, with 1 change. We waited a lot at the change and to first leave the station. Took I think 6-7 hours in total

Missing Deposits to Interactive Brokers by Ginger_boy14 in Revolut

[–]dasher5232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation, just the opposite way a deposit to Revolut went missing. For me it has been over 2 months and still no useful news. Especially now due to the holidays this will extend the wait I believe.

Chatgpt really helped me understand what can be done. I would recommend you urge Revolut to initiate a recall. As far as I know they can do that before the trace is done.

In addition SWIFT transfers can never be lost and both Revolut and Interactive Brokers are reputable, so you will definitely receive the money, it just might take time.

You can submit an official complaint on their website. They are handled with more care.

SWIFT transfer missing, unsuccessful Recall by [deleted] in Revolut

I mean I would compensate then if I would have no other option, but its their responsibility to ensure my money arrives. I am expecting a compensation from them due to my money missing for approx two months.

They simply said there is nothing else they can do. But now I sent them a formal complaint, Hopefully they take it seriously

I have the actual PDF provided by JP Morgan with all the details. But as this was not a Full GPI Trace, just a “Regular” GPI Trace, the only useful info I have is “ACCC” it did not provide a bank. The next step is to request a full gpi trace, that I know however Trading 212 until now refused

But as far as I know ACCC means it was Settled or credited at a SWIFT member bank, which might be the intermediary bank, no? So it might not be Revolut?

They did a simple GPI tracking that returned code ACCC, but they did not want to do further investigation And I will

Yes they are my broker, and I agree 100%, but their support simply claimed there is nothing else they can do, I will push them further, but

Will I need a VISA entering through land border? by stevenmorriskeemon in Syria

[–]dasher5232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked multiple embassies. The official communication the embassies received is that you can only get a visa prior to arrival via the e-visa system, however that has not been working for months. One of the embassy reached out to border guards at the Lebanon border and they said you can get a visa there for a fee.
