The World's Hardest Travel Visas to Get ($3,000?)

One of the biggest challenges of visiting every country in the world is GETTING VISAS.

Yes, even as a U.S. passport holder (one of the strongest in the world), I'm still spening countless hours, days, weeks, and months of my life figuring out how to get approval to visit dozens of countries.

In today's video, find out which are the 5 hardest visas I've had to get around the world (watch until the end to find out which one cost me $3,000 USD!!!)

Which visas have you found to be the hardest to get? Every passport has different requirements for every country (and they often change), so I'd love to hear some of your struggles!

I'm sorry, but I expoloded in laughter when you said you had to write down all the countries you visited in the past 5 years 😂

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Glad we didn’t make the list. It’s not hard once you book a tour with one of the approved groups

The title should be: world hardest visas for americans.

My poor country Uganda 🇺🇬, is a visa free country. It welcomes everyone. Whether you are a rebel, or a normal person, u just enter the country any how. But when it comes to us Ugandans, all the other countries visas are hard for us to get.

As a Nepali citizen, the most difficult and expensive visa was to the Netherlands. I needed visa to defend my PhD after four years of working at a Dutch university. I was in Mexico, my options were either to go to Delhi or US (I had valid US residency). Took me three weeks and more than 2500 Euros with all the flights and expenses (I crashed with family in the US). My application was 70 pages long and it was a rather stressful and humiliating process. Never again. Luckily, the PhD project paid for this, which I am thankful for. If a Dutch person wants to come to Nepal, they get visa on arrival for less than 50 Euros. Let’s talk inequalities!

I am a Bangladeshi citizen who has been to 50+ countries. What you described for 4/5 countries was my experience with almost every Visa I had to get 😂. Honduras was the most interesting one as they hadn't issued tourist visas in a while (I was in the Los Angeles consulate) and I had to go to their embassy on 6 different days and spend 20-30 hours total at the embassy waiting room, often working from my laptop in there hahaha. Very nice people but very disorganized embassy

Thank you for coming to my ted talk
(Edit: I live in a developing country which is why these are hard to get)

I’ve been to Iran 6 times as an independent traveler (no organized tour!) and once to Syria -
Visas weren’t hard to get at all, but that’s because I’m Australian, not American!

me as a Nepali : 155 hardest country to visit

[AzimFathi]

Im from Iran and my hardest visas to get is UK and US, and its soooo expensive

[joserobertofongnakazawa]

Going to those countries is much easier when you're not American or British. I had no problem traveling to Venezuela.

The first time I applied for a US tourist visa, I was rejected. Undeterred, I re-applied and over the course of many years eventually became a US citizen; so never give up on visa issues.

[jjzelaya]

The hardest visa to get in my own experience: USA. Belive me, you can meet the requirements and dont get the visa

[fffgr]

Immmm as an afghan let me see what is the hardest visa to get ?



EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

As for a Czech citizen, Iranian visa was the easiest ever to get 😂 You literally come to the embassy, smile, pay 50 €, the friendliest staff in the world smiles back and you're leaving with your visa. Love that country ♥️

As an Indonesian passport holder, I find it difficult to obtain a visa from a foreign country. But despite the visa difficulties, I was lucky. So far, I have visited 55 countries.

[PhoenixRiseinFlame]

I’m surprised North Korea wasn’t on the list.
