We Europeans already have to get a similar authorization to go to the USA (its called ESTA) so its only fair -- after you the USA started it!

CNN article says visa application can be completed online in 10 minutes, and approval is automatic 95 percent of the time. Sounds like an excuse to collect some money.

"A fee may be charged for issuing a visa; these are often also reciprocal—hence, if country A charges country be's citizens US $50 for a visa, country be will often also charge the same amount for country A's visitors. ".

Hello Sir,

5% does not sound like much, but media reports say roughly 12 mil Americans are traveling to EU a year, and 5% of that number is 600,000. So, that many people who hitherto did not have any problem visiting EU from a visa point of view will be unable to travel.

Of course, this issue is now applicable to other nations as well and that may shut out visitors from other nations as well who at present have and problem visiting.

At a minimum, it is a minor hassle and if one is unlucky a bit more.

BTW, I posted another link from Condé Nast but I do not see my comment here. Not sure where it vanished, or perhaps it was declined for some reason.

[QUOTE=Sybarite2006;2295140]Hi Simon,

Harmony is the best of the Hamburg clubs for service and usually looks too. What I would recommend is go to Harmony during the day and evening till about 11 pm and then go to Babylon from midnight to closing time (I think 5 am!) It has a great party atmosphere on weekends at night time.[/QUOTE]Thanks I will give harmony and Babylon a visit and report back.

".[/QUOTE]It has nothing to do about the money. The amount is very nominal. It is about being treated equally. The EU has delayed the visa requirement for many years. They want reciprocity. If we require a visa for Romanians and Polish people etc. , then they have to make us comply too. If they accept all US visitors, we must accept all EU visitors too. With Trump, they figured it is no use negotiating.

[QUOTE=Gino02;2295951]I hope all of us mongers are doing our parts on this very auspicious day by fucking the women in exchange of money and helping their dreams come true. Whatever those dreams are. House, apartments, luxury cars, watches, jwellery, loverboys, loser boyfriends etc etc.

I'm in Globe now, humbly trying to do my part. Like to share your story of contribution today?

#MeToo. #GirlPower. #WomenInControl #InternationalWomensDay #MenArePigs[/QUOTE]I really try very hard on this week end, already 6 clubs visited since Thursday night, in NRW, NL, Hessen, except one I chose not to go to because I prefer to keep in my mind how she was with me, but so few fuckable looks seen, only 3 girls, quite good at LR and Samya but no wow to run to repeat and only elegant, pretty at Palace, but a real natural beauty with very white skin, full natural, no tattoo nor piercing nor silicon nor Botox nor acid, but she said too much love for sex for her, not on level to play, even smiling with her blond friend after.

Germany is really not on top on 2019, compare to my last visits at Globe on beginning of January, where can play love in bed.

Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, Israel, Singapore, etc total 60 countries on the ETIAS list, many of those same countries enjoyed Visa free travel before.

Sounds like worst possible scenario. I mean the article said 95 percent automatic approval. It is quite possible that a huge chunk of the remaining 5 percent will also get approved--with a little more additional screening. Curious to see how it gets implemented.

Good catch, you have a sharp eye. I should have said "5% are denied easy and quick processing". As you said, it remains to be seen how it is implemented and what happens to those that are denied clearance at the first try. Do they need to submit more documentation, do they need to visit an embassy, is the application denied due to misspellings, missing details and other simple issues or do they weed out certain applications?

I realized I misspoke as soon as I hit "upload report" button but alas it was too late. I wish I could re-edit some of my comments but this site is not allowing me any second chances, and I am not very careful when typing on social media sites. Perhaps the site owner can be kind enough to allow re-editing, at least for a short amount of time. But many times my comments take several hours to appear here.

BTW, separate topic but the currency exchange keeps shifting in favor of Americans. A year ago around this time, I visited Europe and withdrew roughly $4,000 during the trip. At $1.24 per Euro, I received approximately €3220.

Now, at $1.12 to the Euro, I expect the same $4 grand with fetch me €3,570.

The additional €350 Is a tidy amount for another couple of sessions, or a better hotel. Something our American friends here need to consider.

I only looked at the CNN article that was linked. It seemed to make it all about the USA.

EU seems to be making a statement is Akibono's point. My understanding is USA singles out five EU countries, so people from Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Cyprus undergo additional scrutiny. EU wants them all to be treated equally. Sort of like one of us going to GT with a black friend. If he gets turned away at the door, the decent thing to do, even if you are not directly affected is to boycott GT, at least for that day.

Curious if the 60 countries also had "unfair" visa policies which treated those five countries differently from the other members of the EU.

I mainly just feel sorry for Andorra being on the list.

For instance, Romanians, Bulgarians, Cypriots, Poles, and Croatians do not currently need visas to travel to Canada, Australia, Japan, and most of South America. Despite that, those countries will become ETIAS countries.

This is clearly not a reciprocity issue.

Maybe that feature is only for the paying customers? Jackson, care to elaborate and enlighten us?
