ETA

Dear Lades2222,

I agree with you that it is not up to us to decide what is legally defined as an eVisa or an ETA, but it seems that you're so exceptional and are sometimes allowing yourself to judge arbitrarily on this question.
You just wrote on this page that "Pakistan ETA is a 'formal word' and in fact has a complicated process. And because the result is done electronically, it is difficult to consider it as a visa on arrival. Sri Lanka ETA is also a 'formal word' and is in fact the same as Indonesia's E-VOA.".
Can you comment on that? Can you provide any reference to a reliable source for this statement: "Sri Lanka ETA is [...] in fact the same as Indonesia's E-VOA"? Have you ever read this?
Thank you,

Hello. You are not wrong.

I was just conveying my opinion, and the map was just thrown in for 'appeal' purposes.

If what you said is correct, you can proceed as you wish.

Let me tell you one thing..

The ETA depends on how the country appeals to you, such as 'visa-free' or 'e-visa'.

Countries such as the United States, Korea, and Kenya are classified as 'visa-free' because they themselves say that ETA is 'Visa Waiver'.

In Pakistan and Sri Lanka, ETA is not called 'Visa Waiver'.

and..

Pakistan's visa on arrival is not something that can be obtained at the airport without any preparation like in other countries. Because it is an electronic process, it is not a complete visa on arrival.

In the case of Sri Lanka, you can receive a visa upon arrival at the airport without any preparation.

You can apply for an ETA separately, but since Sri Lanka itself does not say 'exempt', the ETA can be classified as an electronic visa. Lades2222 (talk) 08:50, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Dear Lades2222,

I understand. I saw that you updated the legend of the visa requirements for German citizens map here to make it consistent with your version of the map. I think that this is a good compromise. After all, as long as the legend is accurate and precise enough, there isn't much to speak of. Thearones (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Dear Thearones,

Thank you for your consideration.

However.. I'll tell you about Gabon.

I understand why you marked Gabon green.

I also frequently visit the PASSPORTINDEX site you borrowed.

The site updates its maps based on information from IATA but Unfortunately, Gabon's information is not currently updated from IATA.

Gabon granted exemptions to G20 countries in February 2023, but when a new transitional government took office, the government canceled their exemptions.

So currently, we have to apply for an e-Visa to enter Gabon. (Of course, this is unfortunate for g20 citizens.)

I hope you'll investigate this one more time.

Reference materials are from France, Germany, Japan, and Korea.

Have a good day. Lades2222 (talk) 20:11, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Dear Lades2222,

Thanks for pointing that out. I have now investigated this one more time and you're right: German citizens require an eVisa traveling to Gabon and aren't visa exempt. So I have reverted the map to its previous version.
Have a good day too,

Update request

Hello.

File:Visa Requirements for Armenian Citizens.svg needs to be updated, because Turkey requires an electronic visa for Armenian citizens, before they can travel there.

Yours sincerely, 31.200.17.54 11:41, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, it's my mistake. So I immediately modified the map.

Thank you. Lades2222 (talk) 14:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much. 31.200.17.54 20:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

......

hi Lades.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Omani_citizens needs an update, because since Feb/10/2024 Omanis requires an electronic visa to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina [[1]], before they can travel there. and Omanis requires only a (UK) ETA to enter Ireland but you have to travel from UK to Ireland domestically [[2]] the website says EVW but now it's an ETA — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dxyuyu (talk • contribs) 07:35, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Second update request

Hello.

Can you update File:Visa policy of Azerbaijan.svg and File:Visa policy of Indonesia.svg by coloring Kosovo in black? These countries refuse Kosovo passports and also the transfer of Kosovo citizens through their countries. For the other countries that ban Kosovar passports and Kosovar citizens, Kosovo is not on their global visa policy maps. See en:Visa requirements for Kosovar citizens.

Can you update File:Visa policy of Belarus.png, File:Visa policy of Armenia.png, File:Visa policy of South Ossetia.png, File:Visa policy of Abkhazia.png, File:Visa policy of Syrian Arab Republic.png and File:Visa policy of Somaliland.svg by removing the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), and indeed from any global visa policy map, which includes Nagorno-Karabakh? In autumn 2023, Nagorno-Karabakh ceased to exist as a breakaway state and was dissolved. Can you update their Wikipedia articles and remove Nagorno-Karabakh as well?

Can you also update File:Visa policy of Syrian Arab Republic.png and File:Visa requirements for Turkish citizens.png, by coloring Turkey and Syria in dark gray, and also update en:Visa policy of Syria and en:Visa requirements for Turkish citizens as well? Officially, Syria requires Turkish citizens to obtain a visa before travelling there, [3] but in practice refuses the entry of Turkish citizens to Syria.

Yours sincerely, 31.200.17.54 15:56, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I read your article well. But you made a lot of demands at once.

There is not enough time to accommodate individual's request.

I will refer to them but.. I hope you understand that I am not a genie who will fulfill your every request. Lades2222 (talk) 19:57, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry for requesting too much. I did hesitate, before I put them all at once. I should not have done so. At least Nagorno-Karabakh is not a temporary fixture which requires regular updates, unlike visa requirements. Sorry again. 31.200.17.54 20:32, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

The map of Somaliland has been corrected.

Thank you. Lades2222 (talk) 21:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Can you update the other files gradually when you have the time and when you feel like doing so? That is it from me. 31.200.17.54 23:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Update

Hello! Please update this map - File:Visa Requirements for Georgian Citizens.svg - and add Chine's visa-free regime for Georgian citizens (see https://civil.ge/archives/584261). I have no permission to update it. Thanks! გიო ოქრო (talk) 21:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have read your request.

However, China has spoken about Georgia's citizen exemption and has not yet officially implemented it.

I'm also watching the situation in Georgia-China. Let us wait a little longer, Thanks. Lades2222 (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Update Peru. Peru is and Panama is free. Peru visa is free for Georgians from 2023 https://1tv.ge/lang/en/news/georgia-and-peru-agree-on-visa-free-travel/ 2A02:587:6616:FD00:E5C7:F927:7D97:DE52 15:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Georgia and Peru have signed a visa waiver agreement, but it has not yet entered into force. The colors will change when the agreement comes into effect. Thank you. Lades2222 (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Visa policy of Azerbaijan.svg -- USA

As I noted a year ago, the USA's conditional visa-on-arrival to Azerbaijan is dead, because there's no longer a direct flight between NYC and Baku. The condition required for the conditional VOA has been impossible for the last 4 years, so at the moment the map should be updated to show the USA as just an e-Visa country. If/when the flight route is re-introduced between the two countries, then we can see if the conditional VOA is continued. At the moment, though, it's just not a thing that's possible. Would you mind updating the map to show that, because I don't have overwrite permissions -- I have requested for the file to allow overwriting but we'll see if that's put in. -Asheiou (they/them • talk) 00:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

I also believed what you said and did the editing work, but when I looked up the materials later, I realized that it was different from what I knew.

I understand that the Baku-New York flight has not been suspended. I hope you will research more and then re-edit the visa policy page or update the map.

These sources are from 2019. The service was suspended after that point. You can check any flight booking website or flightconnections. The route isn't currently running. -Asheiou (they/them • talk) 17:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

That alone is insufficient evidence. This is because there was no official announcement from the governments of both countries.

But if that's true, you can change the map yourself. I hope you edit it as you wish. :) Lades2222 (talk) 19:16, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
