Tourist visas

You’re not welcome

VISAS
ARE A frustrating necessity FOR
THE international traveller. BUT some countries’ labyrinthine forms AND hefty fees seem designed TO dissuade all BUT THE most determined
tourists.

Take
Britain, WHICH requires Chinese
tourists TO fill IN A
ten-page form WITH biometric
registration requirements—IN
English. Unsurprisingly, they have stayed away IN their droves. Only 18% OF
Chinese visitors TO Europe make it TO Britain, BUT two-thirds visit France, A
member OF THE Schengen travel zone where visas ARE both easier TO get AND ARE 40% cheaper. Chinese tourists ARE big spenders who shell out an average OF £1,618 ($2,500) each, twice AS much AS THE typical
American. VisitBritain, THE
country’s tourism trade body, complains THAT
THE government’s visa policies ARE costing THE country £2.8bn.

Elsewhere,
ordinary travellers bear THE brunt OF tit-FOR-tat diplomatic measures. American visitors TO Brazil pay A $160
visa fee, levied IN retaliation FOR America’s exclusion OF Brazil FROM ITS visa-waiver
programme. Neighbouring Chile AND
Argentina cheerily call their fees “reciprocity charges”.

VISAS
ARE A frustrating necessity FOR
THE international traveller. BUT some countries’ labyrinthine forms AND hefty fees seem designed TO dissuade all BUT THE most determined
tourists.

VISTOS SÃO UMA frustrante necessidade PARA O viajante internacional. MAS formas labirínticas de alguns
países E taxas (fees) abundantes
parecem desenhadas PARA dissuadir
todos EXCETO OS turistas mais
determinados.

Take
Britain, WHICH requires Chinese
tourists TO fill IN A
ten-page form WITH biometric
registration requirements—IN
English. Unsurprisingly, they have stayed away IN their droves. Only 18% OF
Chinese visitors TO Europe make it TO Britain, BUT two-thirds visit France, A
member OF THE Schengen travel zone where visas ARE both easier TO get AND ARE 40% cheaper. Chinese tourists ARE big spenders who shell out an average OF £1,618 ($2,500) each, twice AS much AS THE typical
American. VisitBritain, THE
country’s tourism trade body, complains THAT
THE government’s visa policies ARE costing THE country £2.8bn.

Pegue a
Grã-Bretanha, A QUAL requer dos
turistas chineses preencher EM UM
formulário de 10 páginas COM
requerimentos de registros biométricos – EM
Inglês. Sem surpresa, eles têm ficado distantes EM seus passeios. Somente 18% DOS
visitantes chineses PARA Europa vão PARA a Grã-Bretanha, MAS dois terços visitam a França, UM membro da zona de viagem Schengel
onde vistos SÃO mais fáceis PARA pegar E SÃO 40% mais baratos. Os turistas chineses SÃO grandes gastadores que gastam uma média DE 1.618 libras cada, duas vezes mais do que O típico americano. VisitBritain, O órgão de turismo do país, reclama QUE O as políticas de vistos do governo ESTÃO custando AO país
2,8 bilhões de libras.

Elsewhere,
ordinary travellers bear THE brunt OF tit-FOR-tat diplomatic measures. American visitors TO Brazil
pay A $160 visa fee,
levied IN retaliation FOR America’s exclusion OF Brazil FROM ITS visa-waiver
programme. Neighbouring Chile AND
Argentina cheerily call their fees “reciprocity charges”.

Em outros lugares, viajantes ordinários sofrem O choque DO olho POR olho das medidas diplomáticas.
Visitantes americanos PARA o Brasil
pagam UMA taxa (fee) de visto de 160
dólares, cobrada EM retaliação POR exclusão americana DO Brasil DE SEU programa “visa-waiver”. Vizinhos, Chile E Argentina animadamente chamam suas taxas de “preços recíprocos”.
