Dangerous bet I would say... More and more embassies refuse it. Not going to the right direction.

Don’t do as anybody else, that’s why they will reject.

Accepted by some, rejected by others. You’ll have to trawl through the comments for details.

yeah I saw, that's why I'm not sure if I should go for it or notAnonymous ******************
I would recommend playing it safe and getting something that is usually accepted by all embassies. You never know what could happen with that activity—it’s being refused more and more. Keep in mind that immigration officers at the border have the right to grant or deny you entry.
