Visa and ESTA for the USA?
Hey, I'd like to fly to the USA with some friends for a week. That's my problem, but I was in Syria after 2011, actually this year. I know the USA has special regulations for this, but I'm not really sure. Do you know if I can get into the USA with a visa or something? Unfortunately, it costs $200, so I wanted to avoid that, but is it possible for me? I'm a German citizen without dual citizenship, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.
Anyone who was in Syria needs a visa. The B-1/2 visa is valid for 10 years.
That’s right, but it’s kind of a mare in the United States. Just because you were in Syria, you shouldn’t need a visa. The USA is really exaggerating.
I would advise the questioner to have a new passport issued and to enter it.
A new RP makes little use of it, as when ESTA is being used to visit certain countries.
The Shit! is not intended to rethink the visit to the USA.
Then he must lie. Data about flights are exchanged internationally.
Everyone can fly away from the USA, no one has to travel to the USA.
Exaggerated it is natural and also not effective. Only bureaucratic.
And that’s exactly what I think is bad. Thus families are torn apart, relationships are destroyed, trust is also broken into the USA. My opinion.
I know. I’ve known for a long time. But it’s still a total exaggeration in terror protection.
You need a visa.
Whether you’re raising one, it’s likely to depend on your trip to Syria. Even if there is only the slightest terror, your request will be rejected. If you were there, for example, detectable for humanitarian purposes, there should be no problems.

Right. But I hardly think the questioner is a terrorist. Therefore, a normal passport should actually be sufficient. And just because the US hates this Syrian regime, it is not a reason for German citizens who were in Syria to do so rigid. Some dimensional behavior of the USA.
I would understand if the Syrian citizens were rigid. But there is absolutely no reason to discriminate all people around the world as terrorists over a comb. Not for the USA. This “you’re a terrorist” has to be done.
Germans who had to do in Iran or have been vacationing in Cuba have the same problems.
It could therefore be that Francis is looking for contact with this Xi regime in China. And China is a helper of this Kremlin terror cell just like Iran.
I’d like to believe. The data should also be deleted in the case of Cuba if it is more than 10 years ago. In Iran, however, it is so that Iran is a helper of the Kremlin terror cell and that it is now better to stop traveling to Iran, and also contacts with Trumpeltier and these U.S. republikanians, with the Turkish AKP including Erdogan, with this international murder and war criminal cabinet in Israel, with the Taliban, with this Mullah regime and its Revolutionary Guards of Ukraine. Furthermore, no connections to this Lukashenko regime in Belarus and no connections to this Xi regime in China should be maintained.
And also Pap’s Francis, I strongly advise you to stay out of it. Because I read about an Asia trip from Francis. I assume that Francis once again tries to interfere with what is not good.

You don’t come around with a visa, the ESTA is a simpler for “unproblematic people”, a visit to one of the forbidden countries makes you a problem or certain security risk, so it’s just like before with a visa and thus extra control.
Right if you start from the first. March 2011 in Syria, you must apply for a visa.
Is it not possible to get an ESTA via a second pass
the question is whether the US is getting out. This probably depends on how you came to Syria and how you went to USA. If it was the same flight line, the chances are great that they remember it
My opinion: should actually be possible. Because the 10-year peace that was in Syria (according to questioner 2011) has already passed and it has been over for almost 3 years now.
Not if you truly fill out the ESTA application.
Guys, this was 13 years ago!! And from that, this 10-year period has long since expired.
And why is it still necessary after 13 years of travel to apply for a visa??? I’m getting brains. The USA is so brain-cracked. At the latest when the 10 years have expired, this should no longer be necessary.
However, I understand this rigid approach also against the Kremlin terror cell and its global helpers and helpers (including this Trumpeltier) and against this Israeli war criminal and international murderer cabinet and its helpers and helpers as well as against all terrorists. It is necessary to make entry more difficult.
But for all others it should be made much easier to enter.
What I really don’t understand in the United States – in all terror protection – is why all human beings, indiscriminately as terrorists, are complaining about a comb and making everyone unnecessarily difficult to enter? I understand it against terrorists. But against all others???? Kind of paranoid from the USA.
Can it be that these 09/11 have never really worked up and have not been treated psychotherapeutic that they hate everyone else like that??
I see it that the US is making it absolutely unnecessary for other people – who are not terrorists – to enter the United States. That should be much easier. These hurdles have to go down.
I would once be interested in the erasure of such data in the USA. Why does that matter 13 years after the trip??? At the latest after 10 years, the data should be deleted and no longer play a role.
With a second pass it is true.
Then you need a visa for which you need to travel to Berlin, either Frankfurt am Main…
The US Consulate in Munich would also be an option, right?
It is true, but it is still a complicated us bureaucracy that can be made more modern (by post or online).
As far as I know we also have one in Hamburg
Visas are available in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich.

And also that should not be necessary anymore. This should also be possible to go online or by post. This circumstantiality must be gone.
And this visa frame in the USA anyway. Even in the USA, visa-free entry should be possible.
Compared to many other countries, it is still comparatively easy to get to the USA – as a German at any rate…
Well, I have never entered the USA (so far) (but it is far up on my ToDolist!).
Nevertheless, if one reads through reports of experience or the entry requirements of some other countries to the Federal Foreign Office, then an entry permit for the USA seems comparatively simple.
I still understand it with Iran and Libya and Syria. But: if the journey – as in the case is more than 10 years ago, then it is time to delete these ancient data once.
Okay, except you were in a few specific countries like Syria, Libya, Yemen or Iran….
Well, I wouldn’t see that. Because I’ve already had other experience. I’ve been denied a visa a few years ago. I would be very interested in what the U.S. authorities have saved about me and why I was denied entry. Because I’m not a terrorist.
