    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Interesting indeed. In the 30+ countries I've driven in, I've never once been asked for an IDP.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Makes sense, the IDP is just a translation of the original document so need to be viewed together. Great news, nice way to end the week.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    They replied back again and kept the party line, it can take longer. I replied back quoting their T&C's 5. The standard e-visa is issued within 3 working days and the urgent e-visa is issued within 3 hours regardless of holidays and non-working days. An e-visa to the Republic of Azerbaijan is...

    Well, I guess you need it anyway so may as well kick it off! Then if it does arrive quicker, bonus..... as this is a lost one, rather than a renewal.

    Can you submit a lost DL online, get it shipped to home and have someone send it on so you can takeover at some point (might be a fee to add an additional driver though). But, can you put a price on a happy other half?

    As per https://evisa.gov.az/en/apply-faq - no, the airline wouldn't let me board. Can the citizens of all the countries eligible for e-Visa apply and obtain a visa upon arrival at the border checkpoint of the Republic of Azerbaijan? No. E-visa application should be submitted at least 3 working...

    Raised a ticket with their support, amazingly had a reply back in 3 minutes. But ... the reply just said "Please be informed that additional time may be required for consideration of an e-Visa application. Once an e-Visa application is reviewed, an applicant will receive a notification to their...

    Potentially a pending travel mistake...? Applied Monday 10am. 3.5 working days have now passed and.... Fly out in a day and a half, fingers crossed they pull their finger out and do what they said they would.

    VISA Waiver Program to USA

    An ESTA isn't a visa, so no, it doesn't count as a 2nd visa decline. In any case, as others note due to the precious issue I'd be going down the embassy route.

    How well do you sleep on planes?

    I find a sleepy antihistamine (like phenergen) dries you out too much. I do quite a bit of travel to Africa and often have to connect via ADD so means a 7 hour overnight flight which is not ideal. I'll usually eat in the lounge and then once onboard, as soon as the seat belt sign is off it's...

    Chile visa application - bizarre

    Reading this certainly puts me off wanting to visit Chile. Reminds me, need to check my Azerbaijan Visa request as that should have been granted and hasn't yet.

    The view from my "office"

    Remind me to take you for a spin to a church near us, it has an interesting 12th century mural painted on the back wall (Chaldon "Doom Painting" or "Purgatorial ladder" , probably the oldest in the UK. — Seeing the past) and also had (until it was stolen in 1970) the oldest church bell in...

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Great that it's coming back. What $237 fee? The express service doesn't exist anymore. Or have they made that only available when renewing / applying in Australia? Certainly from the UK, the express service I used a few years back, no longer exists and the only option is the rubbish emergency...

    A bit of humour

    A mate back home sent me similar, but it had Ellenbrook on it. Armadale also works!

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Still no word from the passport office for me, which is a pain. I really need to get back down to Madagascar pronto and the uncertainy is causing me some planning issues.
