True? Does anybody has any experience? Thanks Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

Nobody was. Neither was I asked to show my ticket when I applied for my visa in The Hague. Where are you planning to go in India? Marianne --- “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.

They are not required for a 6 month visa. Your friend may be applying for a "Transit Visa". Eire --- Life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.
