Visa is an official document granted to the traveller from a foreign country that gives the traveller permission to enter that country for a specific period of time. It is more than a wonderful addition to the passport. Contacting online visa services is one of the safest way to find this out.

Each country deals with visa differently. Some visa are available for few days, some for few months, some allow one time entry while some give permission for multiple entries depending on your purpose and some other factors. It is not just the application process that varies, but also the cost and time taken for different countries.

Every industry has its own "best practices" -- proven rules and standards that guide the industry. Travel is no different. There are many rules to live by that help us navigate the unknown world with fewer costly mistakes and help quicken the pace in which we melt into the local culture. They make travel easier, better, and less stressful. I have my own rules. Below are my 27 golden rules for travel. If you follow them, you'll be a master traveler, able to travel the world with swashbuckling zeal and expert ninja-like knowledge... all without breaking the bank so you can keep cutting a path forward through the world for longer: Get a no-fee ATM card: Why give your money to the banks? Get an ATM card that doesn't charge any fees and use that extra money for more traveling. Over the long term those $2-5 charges really add up. I use Charles Schwab as my bank but you can also find many others that offer no-fee accounts -- or use a one that is part of the Global ATM alliance, and pay no fees within that network. There is never a reason to pay a bank fee.

 Keep all your receipts and examine all of them. Then once the trip is over check your bank statement. Transaction mistakes are more likely to happen in a checking account than on a charge card. So if you won't double check it, an accidental overcharge can be a disaster and potentially lead to overdraft charges, bounced checks or insufficient-funds charges. Because resolving it will take a while and you don't want that so better read your receipts carefully before leaving your hotel.

12345 Popular hotels/best hotels The Lugger, Cornwall The setting for this 17th-century inn could not be better. Sandwiched between the cliffs in the tiny fishing village of Portloe - the fiercely sloping landscape of which has spared it from development - this whitewashed hotel looks out across the harbour. But it is not just about the location - the 22 rooms are as bright and welcoming as the amiable staff, while the food (given its seafront position, fish features heavily) is superb. If you plan to push the boat out, opt to stay in the miniature cottage for something a bit special. Mama Shelter, Paris Cheap but chic, with quirky decor by Philippe Starck, and a buzzing bar and restaurant attracting cool Parisians. Beds feel luxurious; standard extras include Kiehl's toiletries, free Wi-Fi and iMac televisions. The bedside fancy-dress masks are possibly not for everyone, but the price is. Hotel Alpenrose, Wengen, Switzerland This is the best sort of traditional, family-run hotel. You won't find designer furnishings or trappings, but it's a comfortable, well-run three-star set on a plateau at the edge of a pretty Alpine village, with great views over the valley below (opt for a south-facing balcony room). It has a welcoming lounge with log fire, books, games and Wi Fi, friendly owners and staff, and a loyal band of regulars who return year after year to ski or walk in the mountains. Palazzo Zichy, Budapest This elegantly refashioned former Hungarian count's palace is an impressive fusion of 19th-century Habsburg-era elegance and 21st-century (Italian designer) style. Beautiful, spacious lobby; sleek contemporary rooms; a funky sitting room area; and a great location in a wonderfully atmospheric part of Pest. A bargain to boot. The Inn at Narrow Passage, Woodstock, Virginia In the heart of rural Virginia, this beautifully restored and homely colonial inn served as Stonewall Jackson's headquarters during the American Civil War. Bedrooms are charmingly old-fashi

http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/jakarta-travel-tips/ Like any other cities in the world, Jakarta is a noisy and chaotic metropolis. And same as those cities, there are cautions to be conscious of. Jakarta is much fun if you know what you are doing so if it is your first time in the city here are some travel tips for you. Customs and etiquette are very important anywhere but in Indonesia there are some certain points that you must remember. Although Indonesians are usually laid-back, there are some dos and don'ts that you must be sensitive just so you won't offend. When entering temples, mosques, and even some shops, shoes should always be removed. Skits and shorts must cover your knees when in town. Pointing is also prohibited and eating with your left hand is offensive as it is only used for toilet duties. Smooching or public display of affection with partner or with a local is considered too be very offensive. Keep it cool and keep your temper in check even in the most tempting circumstances. Although Jakarta is not tip-heavy at least be a bit generous more especially to a non-service-charging restaurant and the rounding up of a cab bill. When it comes to money matters, the local currency is the Indonesian rupiah (Rp), with notes ranging from Rp500 to Rp100,000 and coins of up to Rp1,000. If you you got to change money, you must go directly to the banks instead of having them changed in the hotels because you will have a bad time due to their worst exchange rate! But good thing about Jakarta is they are a fairly credit card-friendly city with shops, restaurants and hotels all generally accepting Visa and MasterCard. Be careful of high ATM charges and remember cash is king in the inexpensive markets. It is hot year round in Jakarta because of it close proximity with the equator with little deviation in the seasonal sense. During October to February, the monsoon season goes and it is particularly wet while June through September is generall

http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/tips-on-how-you-can-upgrade-your-stay-at-hotels/ Your home when you are in vacation, a home away from home. You want a comfortable room, and this would make a huge difference to your entire vacation. It isn't always a guarantee that you will be staying to the most comfortable hotel but you can improve your stay. Timing If you desire for a room upgrade, there are some circumstances in which this will likely to happen. First is during a slow season, on a weekend at a hotel that business travelers visits commonly and only stays for a short while. Another circumstance, many hotel rooms are empty and ready for upgrades during off-season. If planning for a short stay only, likewise, room turnover is less of a hassle. According to an unnamed front desk manager quoted on the MSNBC website, if you arrive late and leave early, for instance, because of an unexpected change in travel plans, a room upgrade is a distinct possibility. it is because, it will be easier to make changes for someone who is planning to stay for a short while. Appearance According to the Recessionwire website, while it's not necessary to arrive dripping in jewels and covered with designer labels, an upscale appearance can be a deciding factor in whether you get an upgrade. Meaning, if you arrive looking like a backpacker it is more likely that you would not get an update. According to the MSNBC website, on the other hand, front desk staff are often sympathetic when you arrive looking exhausted. You may receive an upgrade at least to a higher-quality bed especially when you have a nice character. Conduct If you have complaints and are all legitimate, those wont be held against you but show a and obnoxious attitude then expect no upgrade and it could be use against you in future stay. According to Genevieve Brow, a Travelocity senior editor, quoted on the Mainstreet website, letting the front desk know you're celebrating a special occ
