Re: Wrong Visa

We had a tool which "helped" us decide which visa we needed for different countries. It wasn't very good. It said a UK citizen needed a visa to go from the UK to France, and could get it from the French embassy in Washington!

It also said I needed a work permit in China if I was doing any "education". This work permit takes 3 weeks + to get, and you need an address in China. As I was flying in Saturday morning - doing a "on support" Saturday night and flying home Sunday - I didnt have time to get an apartment or apply to the local police station which is only open Monday to Friday!

After weeks of complaining about the tool - they changed the tool to say "UK citizens do not need a visa to go to France"!

Every one else ignored the tool!
