Just step off the boat and you’ll need nothing.
I’m thinking, if this new rule effects Tourism in a negative way, it will vanish just as quickly as it appeared.
To my European online-friends; “You’se guys need us Yanks with all of our disposable cash just burning holes in our American pockets!
North Africans in boats exempt.
So they let in millions of muslim Syrians, Iraqis, Algerians, Libyans and Sub-Saharan Africans who simply march in en masse, but the citizens of the country that saved their miserable butts in two world wars and is currently pouring billions in to save them yet again have to fill out their petty bs forms.
Got it.
When Vlad’s on your doorstep, don’t call us.
This sounds like a GREAT reason to stay away from Yurp... not that I need a reason.
Europe is one of many laces I never had an interest in putting up with long flights.
Only to be assailed by mobs of ill-washed smokers everywhere?
The Pacific islands were always a lot more appealing. Australia and New Zealand.
Been there done that....didn’t get any t shirts. No burning desire to return.
For right now, this hurdle is minimal though I could easily see them demanding more and more and more information in the next few years.
Tourism is one of the biggest industries Europe has and their #1 source of tourists - and the biggest spending tourists - is America. If this noticeably cuts into tourist numbers from America, European businesses are going to scream at their regulators and this will go away fast.
I’m 75 and have zero interest in going to Europe. None, Zilch, Nada.
I am right where I belong, deep in the heart of Texas.
PS, Europe, “who are you gonna call” to bail you out this time.
Just showed them my US passport, and they waved me through at each border crossing.
I was a little perturbed that they didn't stamp my passport because I had nothing to show that I had been in those countries.
When are the people of this country going to tell europe to f^*k off?
They told us before WW2 ended.
