Second edition.
Passport, ticket, ticket, ticket or different names, and silver. Those are the main things that every passenger must have. Without them it's practically impossible to take a plane with some international itinerary.
But we split.
Passport.
According to the dictionary of the Royal English Academy. Passport is:
1 .- A license or written release is given in order to move freely and safely in a town or country to another.
2.-license given to the military, to route to that where they attend with accommodation and baggage.
3 .- free license or freedom to run something.
For what concerns us, we go with the first meaning. "A license or written release is given in order to move freely and safely in a town or country to another."
Every passenger must have a passport. It identifies all cardholder data that supposedly needs to pass freely through international ports. A passport must bear at least the following Information: Citizenship, legal permit or exit and entry to the country of origin, date of issuance and expiration. The passport can be issued by the embassy or consulate-country-of which the holder is a citizen or, in very special cases, by international bodies, such as UN.
The International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO ICAO or corresponding to International Civil Aviation Organization its acronym in English) is a UN body responsible for set standards for passports and other travel documents.
So far so nice and even ideal, but we'll practice.
The passport has become a currency in this world so "bobalizado" and no longer gives the power to move freely and safely in a town or country to another. Passing the buck and avoiding complicate my life, I focus.
Already, before the guy September 11, 2001, removed or have a passport has been complicated. Criminal organizations have evolved directly proportional to existing technologies, the counterfeits are becoming more perfect, with the corresponding problem for the airlines, and we all pay for the sins.
Therefore, to avoid counterfeit passports and have any number of gadgets and information, according to the possibilities of the BCV, which science fiction, little details that I can not, I should not mention . Say you are secrets and so I avoid the odd problem. In any, and because they are already known, I limit myself to two of them:
Biometrics: Since the fingerprint through the geometry of the face and the imprint of the iris. Everything is worth to verify that the carrier or the carrier of the document is the rightful owner of the passport. All this information is inserted into a Travel Document Machine Readable (MRTD). Everything is possible to increase the security and authenticity of the document. Many countries, together States have introduced additional safety measures crucial in response to the threat of global terrorism. This individual biometric information can also be stored in a database or an identification card authenticate a visa-free travelers will be revised prior to the entry form. visa now the little word name ... then again so wonderful word play.
API: Advance Passenger Information, this system allows airlines to electronically submit a passenger list with data from passports, to the respective customs , immigration offices and other authorities in the destination. This information enables supposedly to border officials to process the information about passengers prior to arrival flight. Which allows the arrival of our flight, meet friendly staff at the door of the plane, with a wonderful geographical formation, and that confused Geneva Geneva, Switzerland ... Sweden, for example.
now and avoiding the above, a passenger should know the following about PASSPORT:
"Your passport must be force before, during and after their stay at the place of destination. "Tomorrow I have a flight to" Oeufqcefqwoeu " ... my passport is expired, you can help me? What I can do? ". is not the first time this happens at an airport, especially on a Friday afternoon and in high season.
"Your passport must be, as far as possible, in good condition and / or care. Avoid washing, for example.
-Ensure that the name you have in your passport that you use and in all documents. Let me explain. In our Western world, Mr. Perez is Perez Perez is written and pronounced in most cases, Perez. The problem is compounded when you have a name like: Nkapnangnjapndoukematagnigni. Imagine, if by chance, that you go to the states combined and has, in your passport, all his letters. By the way, I swear by all the wigs of the late Celia Cruz that name exists, not an invention of my warped mind.
Friend Passenger Passenger Amiga ... take care of your passport. Do not flush and very important data stored in a safe place. The alien's friends are always there, avoid, insofar as possible, its importunate visits. Elevate the odd photocopy and before them by cities, by country of destination ... usually in hotels have safes. Leave on good support. It avoided some drawbacks.
If your passport is not legal ... do yourself a favor. Throw it away, destroy it and find one legal. Avoid travel problems or not, life is beautiful and not worth the complicated life ... you?
Last thing ... the whores visas.
VISAS
Visas are, and not complicate our lives, giving us permits a country different from ours, to be in their territory. Usually there is a kind of reciprocity between countries that are requested visa. Sure ... in the states together are nothing, they are the country and others simply are the others.
Returning to the subject. There are several types of visa with the resulting characteristics are:
Transit Visa : serves for a person who is to call in a country and then go to another, can stay on this scale. Usually a maximum of 3 days. In the United Together is better to have a tourist visa. Avoiding the wonderful treatment of educadísimos border police. The New York and Miami are heavenly.
Tourist Visa: For people who want to visit that country for the purpose of meeting him, as a tourist, not allowing the person supposed to do business inside the country to which they visit or work on this, just spending money. You usually have durations between 1 and 6 months.
Working Visa: only for work purposes if and when a company hires destination country for such purposes. Is more extensive in time and renewable.
Student Visa: For the purposes of a person who is enrolled in an educational center of the country. As the name implies, is a visa to study in that country. Some are lucky to have this visa for life. They are always studying. I mean ... forever.
Diplomatic Visa: To persons holding a diplomatic mission to visit that country for diplomatic purposes such as official visits by leaders, or effects of the embassy. They are what I call " Now these, now are not" . Holders of this visa, are sometimes unbearable. Most gods in this world of vulgar mortals. Sometimes I wonder, to see them, to treat them ..., is that they are of another material, do not go to the bathroom, do not sweat? Poor beings with a stool sad power. Fortunately not all, there are some, so humble, give you lessons in life and that, always, is appreciated. But, but, but, but ... there are others.
Journalist Visa: For those who exercise the profession of journalism, to exercise their profession for a long time sporadic, to cover certain events that are taking place in that country, relevant or research nature.
Marriage Visa : For those who enter into marriage with a person possessing the nationality of the country. Peter Weir time guided Gérard Depardieu and Andie MacDowell in this comedy, Green Card, back in 1990 ... I remember and smile is inevitable.
can also differentiate between entry visas and exit visas:
Entry visa: is an authorization to attend an immigration office of country of destination, and request formal entry there (it is important noted that the mere possession of a visa does not guarantee entry into the country, this can only be decided by the immigration officer and they usually say a subtle NO! ). It is a form of governments to control the movement of foreigners. These visas are of two types: the passport, allowing access to a country for a visit of a definite period, and immigration, involving an authorization to reside here permanently. The latter required many more requirements, it is often difficult to obtain.
Visa out: some countries is the require their citizens when they wish to travel abroad. Visa is required for the abandonment of a country in political, social or economic environment. Examples. Many, you understand me, right?
Whatever the type of visa, you must monitor their maturity dates, in any case should also be reported, previously, the requirements to be followed if for any reason we must extend our stay in the country to which travel . Our friend Murphy comes when least expected.
All the best for you.
