The American denies and attempts to insult. The Australian agrees.

That sufficiently proves my point.

Discuss at a decent level and I will answer. Be rude and get ignored.

It’s not a visa. It’s simply a statement that you’re coming. A visa is a statement that you’re allowed in.

With a dtac in your pocket you might still get refused at the border.

Yes. Whatever Biden did, he was never setting up friends of America being against America. The current move is just sad and the American economy isn’t even going to benefit from this (on the contrary!).

The US is rapidly losing trust from its friends and that’s a sad thing. Trump is even mentioning that its NATO partners might use American weapons against America. The thought alone worries me. Which NATO country started wars in the last 50 years? None, except USA!

And now Trump is mentally preparing his country for wars against Canada, Mexico and the EU using the same rhetoric that Putin used before invading Ukraine. That’s a dangerous move.

They are just waiting until the administration puts a tariff on foreign wives. 🤣🤣🤣

(Just kidding - not intending to start another fury)

There’s nothing wrong with this system. Try entering the USAR as a foreigner without any prior registration. All three Russia’s, European, Asian and American, have been doing this for years already.

No “just show my passport”. And I suggest that European countries start implementing very strict visa requirements for travelers with Russian passport, even when these are fake with symbols of the former USA.

You need to apply *at least* 3 days before, not “within” 3 days before.

Loong William The smiley on Brandon Thurkettle’s comment shows you don’t even know the difference between visa on arrival and visa exempt…

Your question “What to do if you decide to travel the day before?” is easily answered: You fill out the online form, which can be done in the cab while driving to the airport. Don’t try to fill the form when you are driving! 😉

/edit: seems I have to retract the second half. You have to fill out the form “at least” three days before arrive. The OP seems to be wrong.

/edit2: My comment was correct. You can only register max 4 days before departure, not earlier, but you can also register on departure / arrival date.

The quickest and easiest way: Have a new shipment sent again, not by Oops.

I had a €300 incoming package for which Oops wanted to charge €400 import and handling.

I told them to store it where the sun doesn’t shine and bought the same stuff again. Now sent through PostNL/EMS.

Imported without hassle and final cost€75.

Oops requiredme to register as importer, in person and in Khon Kaen. 4 hours drive from here.

PostNL/EMS required nothing. No hassle.

Forget Oops. The worst shipping company that I know of.
