Talk:Polish passport

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a number of countries in Africa, and Asia that give Polish citzens a right to obtain visas on arrival. Kenya, Tanzania, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Thailand are just a few. It would be interesting to mark these countries on the main map.

The majority of those countries simply issue visas on arrival to all (or almost all) foreign visitors, so it doesn't have to do with the Polish passport but with general immigration policy of those countries. Therefore it is irrelevant for the subject of the article. --BotevFixer (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Note quite true. While some countries issue VOA to nearly all citizens (e.g. Nepal, Jordan, East Timor) many others restrict that privelege to a select few (Iran, Gulf States just to name a few) Passportguy (talk) 20:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Disagree based on a fact that other Wikipedia pages on passports of other countries (for example UK, or US) show on the map "visa on arrival" countries. It would be good to have the same standards for all "passport pages" for comparision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.56.7.164 (talk) 08:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I updated the map with VOA countries in light blue (visa-free are in dark blue) Passportguy (talk) 20:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added some countries. Are you sure about Kuwait? I believe several years ago it was hardly possible to get any visa for that country if you didn't have a pre-arranged invitation. Also, it is worth checking whether Malawi issues visas on border. It would surprise me if they didn't. --BotevFixer (talk) 18:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Kuwait issues VOA (see [1]). Do you have an official source confirming that Lesotho issues visas at the border ? http://www.drakensberg-tourism.com/lesotho-tourism.html seems to indicate that they do not. Passportguy (talk) 11:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe I once read somewhere about Lesotho but I can't find it now, so I've removed the info. --BotevFixer (talk) 04:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
