My rule of thumb is: if it’s conditioned and they can deny it, then it’s a visa. Period. ETAs are visas. It’s just a way for large countries with lots of movement to digitalize an otherwise cumbersome visa process they cannot assume while they keep labeling themselves as “visa free”.
They want to control the movement of people.
I backpacked around Asia in the late 1980s on my U.S. passport. As I recall, I mostly just hopped on a plane and got a visa on arrival when I landed at the airport. "Visa on Arrival" isn't what it used to be. Now you have to apply in advance for "visa on arrival" and wait for them to send an "approval letter" before you can get on the plane. They advertise 3 days processing, but in some cases it can take weeks.
I noticed that a lot of embassy staff (who were already generally unfriendly) have gotten even more unfriendly since the introduction of eVisas. The more you have to work with computers, the less people feel responsible for the work of badly programmed computer apps. No private company could get away with the unfriendly services most governments use.
6:40 Thailand's TDAC (Tourist Digital Arrival Card) came into use on May 1, in fact.
I live in Mexico and while you can just show up there are a lot of fees for people who travel as a tourist. I didn’t realize how big the fees are until I forgot to add my residency information.
I don't have a million dollars and am now at the age where I can jet off to anywhere around the world, but I watch Nomad Capitalist even though. That's because Andrew provides a lot of information about traveling around the world that is beneficial to anyone who does want to travel the world and the problems you can avoid before you step into a mess. I find what he provides interesting and beneficial.
Even with visa free countries I've noticed there can be difficulty at arrival, it's always good practice to have everything like where you're going and where you're staying printed out, not always internet.
I’m not in your financial situation, however, your knowledge and understanding of the world is invaluable to us all thank you so much 😊
It doesn't really matter, very few foreigners are interested in going to the USA even more now than ever so screw the ESTA. There are so many countries that are more welcoming than the US.
