This article has been YEARS in the making. LITERALLY—YEARS!
I was very lucky to have been able to apply for and obtain Italian citizenship through my ancestral family line.
It was a long process that stretched over the course of 6 years, from 2018 to 2024. People who knew this was happening would check in occasionally and say things like “Oh yeah, is that still happening? It’s not dead yet?” 😑 No, it’s not dead yet. IN FACT, IT’S NEVER BEEN MORE ALIVE!
You’re reading this article now because it was, in fact, SUCCESSFUL! I am now the proud owner of an Italian passport, which affords me citizenship not just to Italy (which would have been cool enough on its own), but the entire European Union, which is a total game-changer!
If you're an American interested in visiting Algeria, first of all, that's really cool! Not a lot of Westerners come here, but the Algerian government isn't exactly making things easy. In this article, we'll walk through exactly how Americans can go about obtaining a tourist visa for Algeria. It's a little complicated, but if I can do it, so can you!
For this, we'll need to rewind a few months and go back to when I was still kickin' it in Hanoi... After getting my visa into Burma, it was time for me to apply for my visa into India. Living in Hanoi is great because, being a capital city, every country in the world has (or, had) an embassy right next to my house. I could have applied for the E-Visa, but I like to do things in person if I can.
Now let’s back it up a little ways. When I first arrived in Dhaka, the customs agent asked me how long I planned on staying in Bangladesh. This is where all my problems started. Take this as a learning experience, should you ever visit Bangladesh.
Before getting into the articles about my time in Burma, we're going to flash back to my time in Hanoi, and walk through how to get a visa into the country. After I booked my ticket taking me from Singapore to Burma, I was eager to start the process of getting my visa. I went online to one of Burma’s government websites to apply for my visa. However, getting that visa turned out to be a lot more difficult than anticipated.
