Visa Oh Visa

Di 2014, gue melakukan perjalanan besar 3 benua 4 negara yaitu Mesir, Yordania, Yunani dan Turki. Kenapa 3 benua? karena Turki merupakan bagian dari Benua Asia dan Benua Eropa. Sebagai penduduk yang memegang passport Indonesia, sungguh sangat disayangkan kita harus membuat 4 visa karena masing-masing negara membutuhkan visa yang berbeda. Sampai saat ini pemegang Indonesia Passport masih harus memerlukan visa untuk masuk ke banyak negara.

Visa Turki

Dimulai dari yang paling mudah dulu ya. Visa Turki termasuk mudah, bisa visa on arrival dan sekarang dipermudah lagi e-visa. Bisa buka website nya disini atau langkah-langkahnya bisa dilihat di blog temen langkah e-visa. Biaya visa turki 25 USD.

No, you can’t go to Athens, you go back to Amman!

No, you can’t go to Athens, you go back to Amman!

That was pretty frustating and made me almost cried; yet I couldn’t show my tears in front of them, the Middle East Airlines officers!

After spending beautiful journeys in Jordan, time to continued my trip to Greece. I flew with MEA-Middle East Airlines that brought me to Beirut, Lebanon for 12 hours transit. It was around 10 p.m when I arrived. I actually already checked-in from Jordan to Greece and had two boarding passes. However, as a first timer having long hours transit, I came innocently to transit desk. I showed my passport and boarding pass, then they gave me two meals vouchers. They asked me a few questions; the reason why I wanted to go to Greece, did I have enough money with me, as well as how may days will I spend for my vacation in Greece. Right after I answered those questions, they said "I keep your passport here, you go to duty free area, find the restaurant and a place to rest. Go back here at 6 am tomorrow", I nodded thinking that this was a normal procedure.
