    British citizens top list for visa-free travel

    so being a British Citizen does have some benefits, after all its a privilege you pay for
    and i wonder if there is a link, why UKBA find so many in raids in this country ? Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan are ranked at the bottom.

    British citizens can travel more extensively around the world without visas than passport holders from any other country, it has been revealed.

    I should think so too !

    It wouldn't surprise me if we'd invented passports and visas in the first place.

    Before that we'd just move in and take over of course. 'Gunboat Diplomacy'.

    Erm, we don't need a visa...we OWN you.

    What position is Pinas in the league,I would think its not far off the bottom as its always had a rep for tago ng tago



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    well Steve, as the government has stated 'British Citizen is a privilege worth paying for' so pay you have to, but then your wife will then be free from the money making visa rip-off

    We might not need a visa for the USA but we need an ESTA, which is basically a visa

    ... what's an ESTA, exactly? Never needed anything like this when I went to the US back in the 1990s.

    For the last few years you need to complete an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) prior to leaving, a few days before to give the security services a chance to check you out ..... it is actually a 'visa waiver' but is technically a visa in disguise

    If you land in the US without one they send you home

    It used to be free but they now charge $14, which is fine as they don't take 9 months processing it, not having any other agency in mind
